I use the PageSetupDialog box to allow the user to change the page margins
before printing. The problem is when I open the dialog box and type in margin
values in millimeters (as it says in the group border title), click on the OK
button, and then open the dialog box again, I find that all the margin values
were divided by 2.54.
Basically, every time I open that Dialog box and click on OK, all the margin
values get divided by 2.54.
I know that this is a metric-imperial unit problem, but I don't know how to
fix it. I have used the following code to open the dialog box:
Dim pd As PrintDocument = C1grd.PrintPara meters.PrintDoc ument()
PageSetupDialog .Document = pd
If PageSetupDialog .ShowDialog = DialogResult.OK Then
MsgBox (PageSetupDialo g.PageSettings. Margins)
End If
Any help is appreciated 2 4900
It's a bug in the control as I thought. Check out what Microsoft says about it:
BUG: The Margin Value Decreases Every Time PageSetupDialog Is Displayed http://support.microsoft.com/?id=814355

I solve it this way:
private void pageSetup( )
{
PageSetupDialog psd = new PageSetupDialog ( );
psd.Document = this.printDocum ent;
Margins originalMargins = psd.Document.De faultPageSettin gs.Margins;
if(System.Globa lization.Region Info.CurrentReg ion.IsMetric)
{
psd.Document.De faultPageSettin gs.Margins = PrinterUnitConv ert.Convert(psd .
Document.Defaul tPageSettings.M argins, PrinterUnit.Dis play, PrinterUnit.
TenthsOfAMillim eter);
}
DialogResult result = psd.ShowDialog( );
if ( result != DialogResult.OK )
{
psd.Document.De faultPageSettin gs.Margins = originalMargins ;
}

I do the code at the bottom of this, and later use:
zz = mPD.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize.Height
and it works most of the time. It's a long story but if I use the
printer's "Custom" size I do not always get the correct results.
Expertimenting isn't getting me anywhere I need someone who
understands the mPD options!
I know I can also get page size by
zz = mpD.PrinterSettings.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize.Height

My C# app. apparently has problems with PageSettings not being

I customized a PrintPreviewDialog by adding a button to it's toolstrip
that opens up a PageSetupDialog. The problem is changes made to the
page setup are not passed to the PrintPreviewDialog until I close and

How do I enable these changes to immediately show up in the print

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
