' This sample utilizes a better method than "PrintForm" to print the contents of
' a Form. PrintForm sometimes excludes grid and other controls. This method simulates
' pressing the PrintScrn key, which copies the image of either the form or screen to
' the clipboard. Note that I call the .Clear method of the Clipboard first - that's because
' it might already have text or something on it.
'
' When printing, note that I scale the picture's height to proportionally fit the
' printer's resolution. The procedure would need to be adjusted if the Height of the
' Form/Screen was greater than Printer.ScaleHeight, or if the Height was greater than
' the Width and the Width was greater than Printer.ScaleWidth.
'
' Updated with VK_MENU keypresses - note that NT needs these.
