    Print dialogue

    Hi,

    I need to raise the Print Dialogue from a context menu, sending in the full unc path of the document I want to print.

    I have the code to get the filing path, I now need to know how I can show the PrintDialogue, sending in the path ?? So that when the user hits OK it prints the selected document to the selected printer ???

    Any starters ?


    Cheers
    Bob

    There is a Tutorial project on printing in the 101 .NET Tutorials download at the top of the VB.NET Forum. Its a great place to start.

    Re: Print dialogue

    Thanks RD, I had actually looked at that already, but it only seems to cover printing content on the current form, setting the font to print with etc.

    I don't need to do any of that as I just want to throw an existing .pdf file at the print dialogue, the only print settings I need are in the dialogue box anyway.

    Thanks
    Bob
