Printing text from a text box

badboylee17

I am trying to print the contents of a textbox using the following piece of code:
Printer.Print Text1.Text

Although I have come across 2 problems,

1. I want to print it out in the same font and size that is displayed in the box.

2. I want it to print immediately but atm it only prints when I close the program.

Help please.

Many thanks.

Assuming I have textbox named Text1 and a Command Button named Command1:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 Private Sub Command1_Click()

    Printer.Print (Text1.Text)

    DoEvents

End Sub

We don't actually know what version of VB this is about.

In VB6, both can be easily addresed by setting the font properties of the Printer object to match those of the textbox, and following up with Printer.EndDoc.

Hello,
Use these lines

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 Private Sub Command1_Click()

Text1.Font.Name = "Arial"

Text1.Font.Size = 10

Text1.Text = "Hello World"

PrintForm

End Sub

and for your second question use Killer's EndDoc command.
