Printing text from a text box

[badboylee17]

I am trying to print the contents of a textbox using the following piece of code:
Printer.Print Text1.Text

Although I have come across 2 problems,

1. I want to print it out in the same font and size that is displayed in the box.

2. I want it to print immediately but atm it only prints when I close the program.

Help please.

Many thanks.

Assuming I have textbox named Text1 and a Command Button named Command1:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Printer.Print (Text1.Text)
    DoEvents
End Sub

We don't actually know what version of VB this is about.

In VB6, both can be easily addresed by setting the font properties of the Printer object to match those of the textbox, and following up with Printer.EndDoc.

I am trying to print the contents of a textbox ...

Hello,
Use these lines

[CODE=vb]Private Sub Command1_Click( )
Text1.Font.Name = "Arial"
Text1.Font.Size = 10
Text1.Text = "Hello World"
PrintForm
End Sub[/CODE]

and for your second question use Killer's EndDoc command.
