    Printer.line Help Please.

    Hi.

    I really need some help on this one please.

    I am trying to print a 12.1 x 12.1cm box to my printer.

    I have found this code bit I just cant work out what the numbers mean. I
    know they are something to do with X/Y coordinates but what do the values
    actually mean .
    Printer.Line (1000, 2000)-(5000, 4000), vbRed, B
    Printer.EndDoc

    What would I have to do to make the box 12.1 x 12.1 cm

    Please help if you can



    Ian

      Look at methods/properties of Printer object...

      Line....
      (x1, y1) Optional. Single values indicating the coordinates of the
      starting point for the line or rectangle. The ScaleMode property
      determines the unit of measure used. If omitted, the line begins at the
      position indicated by CurrentX and CurrentY.


      The ScaleMode property syntax has these parts:

      Part Description
      object An object expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies
      To list.
      value An integer specifying the unit of measurement, as described in
      Settings.
      Settings

      The settings for value are:

      Constant Setting Description
      vbUser 0 Indicates that one or more of the ScaleHeight, ScaleWidth,
      ScaleLeft, and ScaleTop properties are set to custom values.
      VbTwips 1 (Default) Twip (1440 twips per logical inch; 567 twips per
      logical centimeter).
      VbPoints 2 Point (72 points per logical inch).
      VbPixels 3 Pixel (smallest unit of monitor or printer resolution).
      vbCharacters 4 Character (horizontal = 120 twips per unit; vertical =
      240 twips per unit).
      VbInches 5 Inch.
      VbMillimeters 6 Millimeter.
      VbCentimeters 7 Centimeter.


      Amazing what you can find in the online help... :)
