Print The Web Page

Working with the printer is a pain...

I had an idea to display what I wish to print as a web page in a hidden webbrowswer and the tell that webbrowser to print


webbrowser1.print


but there is not print method

there must be a way!

Here's a way to do it:

Code:

---

'to print
WebBrowser1.ExecWB OLECMDID_PRINT, OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER

---

That print one will just print whatever is it there right out. If you use OLECMDEXECOPT_PROMPTUSER, you'll get a dialog to change stuff like number of copies and so on.

thanks this is going to make printing reports etc great!

what if the webbrowser is not visible

Hmm.. I'm not sure about that. I made my own browser with it once, and never tried that possibility. I'm inclined to say it would work, but you'll never know until you try heh heh.

I just made the browser 1 x 1 and stuck it off the side of the form



one more PROBLEM

what if i don't want it to print the page 1 of 1 and then
file//c: and the date on the page.

I just want the page

Sorry I didn't reply for a while, but I've been preparing for some grad exams. Anyway, I don't know how you could suppress those things from printing, but I'd be willing to say it could be done. And I tested out the visible thing for myself, and it seemed to work fine (but you probably already know that).
