[damixx1]

i dont understand. can anybody edit or teach me where to put those codes?

[damixx1]

anyone can teach me where to put the codes? here's the ink of the code http://www.andreavb.com/tip070013.html

[westconn1]

did you try creating a new project and adding the controls suggested and this code?

it is mostly correct though the api declares should be declared public if they are put in a module with the printpicturebox procedure
in fact all the code could go into a form as is

just get it working in a new project before trying to add to your existing project

[damixx1]

i dont understand it

can somebody make a demo for me? or a sampe project. please....... this is just important

[damixx1]

Help please....

[westconn1]

don't bump your threads

why do you expect someone else to do for you?
we have already googled for you
there are 2 sample method to what you have asked, i have not tested the one from andreavb, which looks very simple to incorporate into any project, but i have tested the microsoft one and it works correctly and has many more options

if you show what code you have done so far and what parts are giving problem you will get plenty of help,

if you do not want to do any of this yourself, you could try the rentacoder site and pay someone to do for you

[damixx1]

well, i dont understand it. where to find module

[westconn1]

add a module
menu > project > addmodule
just select default module in dialog

in the module, paste all the code, in the first 2 blue areas
make sure to have a picturebox picture1 can be hidden

put the code in the 3rd blue box into you print command button, or whatever you are using to print

i made a project up, to test, in about 3 minutes, from the result i suggest looking more at the microsoft solution i posted above, it gives a much better result, with a lot more options
it includes fairly comprehensive instructions, as to where to place code, make sure to add all the required controls to the form, you do not need all the code for what you want to do, just the code for capture client and printpicturetofitpage, but as you can paste all just as easy to include all, you can comment out what you don't need after

[damixx1]

ok thank you, i will try that one. i will post here if something goes wrong

[damixx1]

hey it says "Run time error 6, Overflow"? what does that mean? i should reduce the size of the picturebox?

[westconn1]

the pictureboxs should, i believe, be set for autosize, i think the code takes care of that
i did not get an overflow error when i tried either of the projects

where do you get the overflow error, which line?
which code are you working with?

[damixx1]

this one

  If Pic.Height >= Pic.Width Then
            Prn.Orientation = vbPRORPortrait   ' Taller than wide.
         Else
            Prn.Orientation = vbPRORLandscape  ' Wider than tall.
         End If

that bold code was high lighted with yellow,

[westconn1]

i do not see any reason why you should get overflow error on that line, i have tested this project with no errors
does your printer have ability to print landscape and portrait?

if you know which way you want to print you could just comment out that section of code

[damixx1]

how? maybe thats the reason
