Here's code to print, printpreview, & pagesetup for a datagrid

[Nintendo_Wizard]

Here is the code for all of those that would like to enable printPreview, PageSetup, and Print on a datagrid:

Imports System.Drawing.Printing
Private PrintPageSettings As New PageSettings()

'For PrintPreview
Private Sub PrintPreview_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles PrintPreview.Click


Try
PrintDocument1.DefaultPageSettings = PrintPageSettings
PrintPreviewDialog1.Document = PrintDocument1
PrintPreviewDialog1.ShowDialog()
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
End Try
End Sub

'For PageSetup

Private Sub PageSetup_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles PageSetup.Click
Try
PageSetupDialog1.PageSettings = PrintPageSettings
PageSetupDialog1.ShowDialog()
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
End Try
End Sub

'To Print
Try

PrintDocument1.DefaultPageSettings = PrintPageSettings
PrintDialog1.Document = PrintDocument1
Dim Result As DialogResult = PrintDialog1.ShowDialog
If Result = DialogResult.OK Then
PrintDocument1.Print()
End If
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
End Try

Also put this code in the PrintDocument _PrintPage Event:


Private Sub PrintDocument1_PrintPage(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs) Handles PrintDocument1.PrintPage
Dim myArgs As New PaintEventArgs(e.Graphics, New Rectangle(New Point(0, 0), Me.Size))
Me.InvokePaint(DataGrid1, myArgs)

End Sub


Only one problem still remains : PRINTING MULTIPLE PAGES!

Is this what you want to print?
StringToPrint = DataGrid1.Text

If so, you never use the StringToPrint variable after you assign it text.

Sorry for resurrecting this old thread, but it came as part of a search.

With regards to this comment:

Also put this code in the PrintDocument _PrintPage Event:

Private Sub PrintDocument1_PrintPage(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs) Handles PrintDocument1.PrintPage

Where do I find that i.e. the PrintDocument_PrintPage Event?

Also, is anyone aware of a way past the limitations of no multiple pages?

Thanks.

Ok, I worked that out because I obviously hadn't placed a PrintDocument object on the page

Thanks.

Would still like an easy no-frills solution to how to handle more than one page, however if anyone can help.

Cheers.
