Printing the Window [Resolved]

[jordan23]

Ok, I need to know how to print the Window(Form). I have code from Pirate that gives me the Alt + PrintScreen Capture but how do I print that out to the printer?

private Image GetScreenCapture(bool FullScreen) 
        {                                     
            if (FullScreen)SendKeys.SendWait("{PRTSC 2}"); 
            else SendKeys.SendWait("%{PRTSC}");         
             
            IDataObject objData=Clipboard.GetDataObject(); 
            return (Image)objData.GetData(DataFormats.Bitmap); 
        } 

        private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) 
        {     
            //Take shot ! 
            GetScreenCapture(false);
        }

Well, from reading that post it doesn't work on certain controls which so happen to be on my windows. Thanks for the effort though. Isn't there a way to print a .jpg, .bmp, etc...? There has got to be a to print a graphic from .Net without third party controls. I am still searching. Any help would be appreciated.

I did search our forums because VBForums is the best!!! Shameless plug. I figured it out though. Thanks for your help again Pirate. You know pretty soon you are going to be able to start chargin me by the hour.

		private void mnuPrint_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
		{
			

			try 
			{
				// Assumes the default printer.
				PrintDocument pd = new PrintDocument();
				pd.PrintPage += new PrintPageEventHandler(this.pd_PrintPage);
				pd.Print();
			}  
			catch(Exception ex) 
			{
				MessageBox.Show("An error occurred while printing", ex.ToString());
			}

		private void pd_PrintPage(object sender, PrintPageEventArgs ev) 
		{      
			// Draw a picture.
						ev.Graphics.DrawImageUnscaled(Image.FromFile("C:\\vbforums.jpg"), ev.Graphics.RenderingOrigin);
			// Indicate that this is the last page to print.
			ev.HasMorePages = false;
		}
