Print a picture box content

[AM LOPEZ]

Hi vb-forum:

I have a print preview form made it with pictures boxes, the picture box has text, a report, but I'd like to print it directly, because the picture already has the format an pages, How can I send this picture box to the printer?, I'm trying using the Printer.Print PictureBox.Picture but nothing happen. I hope someone can help me.

Thanks in advance and regards.

If you want to print the box and form would this help you

form1.PrintForm

Ummm... I just want to print the picture box only, like a document in Word.

Ok

Try setting the borderstyle of the box to none.
not to have the button on the screen when it prints why dont you have the button on another form and then
do

Form1.PrintForm

Then you will have the picturebox contents only

Ps Just came back from Mexico last July

Use the global Printer object

Printer.PaintPicture PictureBox1, 0, 0


P.S I was in Mexico in Nov, 2000.

Yes, I use the PaintPicture in the Print command and receive a message Invalid picture, but I could send to the print like:
Printer.Paintpicture PictureBox1.Image,0,0 and the problem was resolved. Thanks a lot both of you.

Bruce, when you come again to Mexico, contact me to show this biggest city, in population of course.
