Printer Object (text positioning)

[padsc]

When I have a rich text box on the form, how can I place it on my Printer object so that I can control where the text in it is printed? I can control where graphics go using Printer.PaintPicture, but Printer.Print doesn't provide any way of positioning text. Would I be better off using a different control than a rich text box?

Thanks for any help (desperate!).

You lot really have no idea how hard it is to use the printer in VB. I would look into a third party priniting control if i was you.

This thread covers the basics though it does not take into account Bold, Italics and text centering etc.

I am in the middle of writing an algorithim that will though.

Or even better check out This Tip. I'm ashamed to say that it pisses all over mine.

Thank you very much for the help. Don't be so hard on yourself! That code looked very good. Will I be able to use these to control where the text boxes are placed on the printed document, or only how the text inside the boxes is printed?

Thanks again.
