Sometimes I want to skip a page - How to do that

[Just Me]

In the handler QueryPageSettin gs I let the user select a "Skip This Page"
option.

But I don't know how to handle it if he does.

I can set a flag and in PrintPage skip printing the page but the page count
in Printer and Faxes still increments.

I can cancel the entire print job but can not find anything that will enable
me to skip one page.
Anyone know how?

Just don't print the page. How to prevent printing strongly depends on
how you handle printing of the pages.

Not sure what you mean. I now in PrintPage only bump my page number variable
and exit.

But the system must consider the fact that PrintPage is entered its a page
(I guess a blank one, I never checked).

Unless someone knows how to tell the system not to add a page to the print
document I'll have to try do it all in QueryPageSettin gs (but that's not
without a problem). I wish I could in QueryPageSettin gs or in PrintPage tell
the system not to add this page to the output.

To illustrate the problem think of a 10 page document. For each page, in
QueryPageSettin gs I ask the user if he want to print the page. Say he does
for the first 9 pages but on page 10 he says not to print page 10. I don't
know what to do. As soon as I exit, PrintPage will get called and if I do
nothing in PrintPage a blank page gets added to the document.
Any ideas how avoid that?

In 'PrintPage', you can do something like that:

\\\
Private m_NextPageToPri nt As Integer

Private Sub MyPrintDocument _PrintPage(...) Handles ...
Select Case m_NextPageToPri nt
Case 1
e.Graphics.Draw String(...)
Case 2
e.Graphics.Draw String(...)
Case 3
...
Case 4
...
End Select
e.HasMorePages = ShouldNextPageB ePrinted(...)
End Sub

Private Function ShouldNextPageB ePrinted(...) As Boolean
If ... Then
...
m_NextPageToPri nt = 4
...
Return True
Else
Return False
End If
End Function

That looks good. I'd also have to do something in case the first (few)
page(s) are not printed.

Thanks a lot
