Need Help Fast!!!

[ScottF]

I want to print my form out like a invoice that cove the whole sheet of paper. I try formprint but it does use the whole page.
In some of my other porgram I was able to use Printer.PaintPicture MSFlexGrid1.Picture, 0, 0, Printer.ScaleWidth to print a MSFlesgrid that work fine. Can somebody help me I've tried using Printer.PaintPicture Form1.Picture, 0, 0, Printer.ScaleWidth but it does not work.

Can you try making the form the size of the paper minus the margins: (i.e.: width = 7.5in and height = 10in)

The following code should work. It uses an invisible picturebox called Picture1 and the code to print the form is in the Click event of Command1:

Private Declare Function BitBlt _
Lib "gdi32" ( _
ByVal hDestDC As Long, _
ByVal x As Long, _
ByVal y As Long, _
ByVal nWidth As Long, _
ByVal nHeight As Long, _
ByVal hSrcDC As Long, _
ByVal xSrc As Long, _
ByVal ySrc As Long, _
ByVal dwRop As Long) As Long

Private Const SRCCOPY = &HCC0020

Private Sub Command1_Click()
BitBlt Picture1.hDC, 0, 0, _
Picture1.Width / Screen.TwipsPerPixelX, _
Picture1.Height / Screen.TwipsPerPixelY, _
Me.hDC, 0, 0, SRCCOPY
Printer.PaintPicture Picture1.Image, 0, 0
Printer.EndDoc
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
'
'you can set these properties a design time
'
With Picture1
.Visible = False
.AutoRedraw = True
.BorderStyle = vbBSNone
End With
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Resize()
With Picture1
.Width = Me.ScaleWidth
.Height = Me.ScaleHeight
End With
End Sub

Good luck!

What is a invisible picturebox? I know what a picturebox is. Can I place my control, textbox, grids etc. in it. Can you please explain a little more.

[Serge]

Invisible PictureBox is just a regular PictureBox with the Visible property set to False.

I Try it but it does not print a full 8 X 11 page. I can change the resolution of the screen and I can Print a full page.
