printing two texts at with one click

Hello :wave:

how can i print two richtexts using only one click buttun

i have to let user decide if he wants to print one of the texts or both by a check box

once he choose the text or texts and click (print) they should be printed in the same format and color of the original texts and in saparate papers

thanks all :bigyello:

VB Code:

if chk1 then RichTextBox1.SelPrint(Printer.hDC)
if chk2 then RichTextBox2.SelPrint(Printer.hDC)

it gives an error
(Method or data member not found)
and points to (.SelPrint)

should i add something from components

what is the name of your rich text controls?
or are you trying to print .rtf files, if you want to print files, you will need to use shellexecute to use the associated program (normally ms word, but if word not installed then wordpad) to print the file
alternativly you can load the file contents into a rich text control then use the selprint method

actually they r not files

they r two normal richtexts in two different forms
one is txtFileText in a form (main)
second is RichTextBox1 in a form (form1)

Try this:

VB Code:

if chk1 then [B]main.txtFileText[/B].SelPrint(Printer.hDC)
if chk2 then [B]form1.RichTextBox1[/B].SelPrint(Printer.hDC)

Yes gavio i tried exactly what you wrote
but it gives an error as i said

Please zip up and attach your project.

is txtfiletext a text box, or richtextbox?
you can't use selprint on a standard text box

they are richtext boxes

simplly there is two forms each with a different richtext box and i need to let the user to choose if he want to print one of them or both by a checkbox


i mean:

print form should include:

checkbox 1 is for the first text
checkbox 2 for the second

and one print button

well the selprint should work, as you have posted no code or any example i am unable to help any further

Are your richtextboxes either accidently or on purpose in a control array? (You can check by looking at the Index property which will be 0 or greater if they are). If so then you need to do something like

VB Code:

if chk1 then RichTextBox(0).SelPrint(Printer.hDC)
if chk2 then RichTextBox(1).SelPrint(Printer.hDC)

he say they are on different forms

While it's unlikely, they could still be parts of two different control arrays.

so......

zip your project and post if you want someone to look at it
