PrintPreviewDia log Control and HTML

dvdastor

Hello,

Is there a way that anyone knows of to preview an HTML string and have
it formatted as HTML in a PrintPreviewDia log? In other words, can the
PrintDocument that is required for this render/understand HTML?
Everything that I have seen looks like it will just print out the raw
string and not the rendered HTML.
I know I can do this with a WebBrowser Control and the
ShowPrintPrevie wDialog method, but I was hoping to avoid using the
WebBrowser control this time.

Thanks for any help.

Dvdastor,

Why not the webbrowser? Probably every other solution will takes more from
your time.

Just my thought,

Cor,

Thanks for the reply. I would love to use the WebBrowser control.
However, i am running into a major snag. I am trying to show a
PrintPreviewDia log with rendered HTML, but I don't want to launch the
form that shows that Web Browser control.

The way I have my code right now, is as follows:

Public Sub PrintPreview(By Val strHTMLItems As String)
Try

WBControl = New WebBrowser
AddHandler WBControl.Docum entCompleted, AddressOf
WBControl_Previ ewDocumentCompl eted

WBControl.Docum entText = (strHTMLItems)

WBControl.Heigh t = 800
WBControl.Width = 800

Catch ex As Exception

End Try
End Sub

Private Sub WBControl_Previ ewDocumentCompl eted(ByVal sender As
Object, ByVal e As WebBrowserDocum entCompletedEve ntArgs)
'shows the actual preview.
WBControl.ShowP rintPreviewDial og()

End Sub

This runs fine, but it opens the dialog box for the print preview
really small. Even though I set the size to 800 x 800, it does not
resize it.

can you offer any assistance on this?

Dvdastor,

I am not sure anymore of this, but I thought that you could hide it behind a
panel.
Did you try that?

PrintPreviewDialog Print Icon not printing

by: Randy | last post by:

Hello all, I'm trying to print using PrintPreviewDialog. What's happening is that the PrintPreviewDialog shows the correct information to be printed, but when I click the print icon, it prints a blank page. If I comment out the printPreviewDialog1.ShowDialog(); and just do a printDocument1.Print(); instead, it prints all the pages like a champ. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks

PrintPreviewDialog Print Button

by: Richard MSL | last post by:

I am using PrintPreviewDialog to preview a file. There is a button that the user can press, which seems to print the file to the default printer. I would like to capture a click on that button so that I can present a PrintDialog, print some files in a special way, etc. But there does not seem to be an event among the PrintPreviewDialog members to do this? Or perhaps I missed it? I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.
