PrintDialog Windows 7

Hi,

I'm using a 64 Bit Windows 7 system and trying to use PrintDialog. I know it doesn't work on Windows 7 unless you add this code:

PrintDialog1.UseEXDialog = True

So I have added that code but then I get this error for the following code:

Dim result As DialogResult = PrintDialog1.ShowDialog()

And the error:

"An exception of type 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException' occurred in System.Windows.Forms.dll but was not handled in user code

Additional information: External component has thrown an exception."


Could you please help me fix this issue
Thanks

Works fine for me on Win7 Ultimate x64 SP1

Code:

---

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim dlg As DialogResult
        Using prt As New PrintDialog() With {.Document = New PrintDocument(), .UseEXDialog = True}
            dlg = prt.ShowDialog(Me)
        End Using
        MessageBox.Show(dlg.ToString)
    End Sub

---

works for me too

Thanks juggalo the new code works :)

So the question is, what's the difference between your code and my bare-bones code that simply tests whether the dialog window opens/shows or not?

I'm honestly not sure. Something just messed up with:

Dim result As DialogResult = PrintDialog1.ShowDialog()

Which produced that error. To be honest your code threw a "Thread Error" because of cross threading but I know how to fix that error but yep I fixed that and now it's all done I hope :)
