[RESOLVED] Printing to a Form

[AlexanderBB]

Took me ages to figure out why it didn't seem to work

Eventually found you need Form1.Print "hi", not Me.Print, or With Me etc.
Nor did it seems to work in Form Load.

Anyway, bigger problem.. any other window that's moved over the Form wipes out the printing.
Is there a solution for that ? Thanks...

Actually Just Print will work fine so long as the code is in the target form.
You need to specify the form name is the code if outside the form.


Try this

Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.AutoRedraw = True
Print "Hello World I'm Loading"
End Sub

Auto redraw keeps the text from disappearing

It works for me, but Print doesn't listed in intellisense, try this

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Form1.Print "Form1"
    Me.Print "Me"
    Print "Hi" ' no need for Me
End Sub

Anyway, bigger problem.. any other window that's moved over the Form wipes out the printing.

Set the form's property AutoRedraw to True

Sorry, i didn't see DataMiser's answer before posting mine
