How do you Print without using Print Dialog

[brvan41]

It's me again, you guys really helped a lot the last time I posted, and was needing a little more help.

I've got 2 comboxes and a listbox.
The user selects from the 2 and is being displayed in the Listbox.

I want each time they press enter, that what they select will be saved to a file.

I want to put a print button on the form and print what is in the listbox.

Also, just to let you know, I do not have a toolbar on this form. Unless you guys think it would be easier than using the print button.

Thanks again for all your help with me on this project. I am learning a lot, but still so much more to learn.

Hi there!

There are a lot of things that you'd like to do.

The experts here are more than willing to help you out with any implementation problems you're experiencing but we can not do the project for you.

What have you tried so far?
What are the errors you're getting?
Is this a Windows application or a Web application?

You're questions are too vague.
Please be more specific.

Thanks,

I do realize that I have asked for a lot of help and I do apollagize for doing so.
I do have a lot of functionality on this project that I didn't share. At least, I think so,as I am new.

I have put all my items in a database and am able to write to and retrieve from. It was kinda frustrating at first, because I didnt realize that the data I was pulling from was access 99 or something, but I am using access 2007 and finally found that 99 or maybe even 2000 saves their database as .mdb. 2007 saves their data as .accmdb and kept telling me it did not recognize the file. Always had to click on "Show all files".Took me about a week to find it, but I'm new and still learning.
Thats just for that funtion.

I was able to save the items to a file. I was excited for doing that.

I was just wanting to put a print button on the form and print the items in my Listbox.
Sounds easy and maybe it is.
I've tried everything. I added all the print objects to the form, printdocument,print dialog, openfile dialog, pagesetup dialog.

I didnt really want all that functionality. Just print document, the items in listbox.

Anyway, I'm sorry for asking help and I do not want anyone doing this project for me. Just point me in the right direction or maybe some examples.

I've been searching for 2 or 3 days now and can't find any.

Thank You Anyway and GodBless

Brett we would love to help you with all of your problems so don't feel bad for asking so many questions!

It just that putting a whole bunch of questions into one post is overwhelming for us because we don't know exactly what your having problems with.

Ask your questions in individual posts.
Try to keep the questions specific and short.
Pick a title for your thread that reflects the problem your experiencing.

Now that you've explained that your having problems with printing we can better help you!

(I have changed the title of your thread to be How to Print without using Print Dialog)

Unfortunately I have never tried to print anything in the way that you're trying to.

Have you seen this article on Printing in Visual Basic .NET?



Cheers!
