Hi!
I have some problems with setting PrintDocument margins using
PageSetupDialog. Here some code to explain my problem...
First PrintDocument declaring this way...
Private pd As PrintDocument = New PrintDocument
It is possible to set default values for PrintDocument printing in
App.Config-file, and it contains following lines...
<add key="Printing.TopMargin" value="2" />
<add key="Printing.LeftMargin" value="7" />
<add key="Printing.BottomMargin" value="0" />
<add key="Printing.RightMargin" value="0" />
Application retrieves default values for PrintDocument when application
is started this way...
Private Sub frmLabels_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'// Get default settings for PrintDocument
With pd.DefaultPageSettings
.Margins.Top =
Integer.Parse(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("P rinting.TopMargin")) * 10
.Margins.Bottom =
Integer.Parse(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("P rinting.BottomMargin"))
* 10
.Margins.Right =
Integer.Parse(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("P rinting.RightMargin"))
* 10
.Margins.Left =
Integer.Parse(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("P rinting.LeftMargin")) * 10
'...
End With
End Sub
Here is how application uses PageSetupDialog to setup PrintDocument
settings...
Private Sub mnuPageSetup_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles mnuPageSetup.Click
Try
Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor
Dim dlg As PageSetupDialog = New PageSetupDialog
dlg.Document = pd
dlg.PrinterSettings = pd.PrinterSettings
Cursor = Cursors.Default
If (dlg.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK) Then
pd.PrinterSettings = dlg.PrinterSettings
End If
dlg.Dispose()
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "Error (mnuPageSetup_Click)",
MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error)
End Try
End Sub
My problem is when user is clicking mnuPageSetup_Click first time
Margin-settings retrieved from App.Config are fine when PageSetupDialog
opens, but if user press OK-button and then turns back, Margin-settings
are not same any more after turning back, after this Margins
(millimeters)-frames orginal Left=7 will be 2,8 and original Top=2 will
be 0,8 in this case - why?
Ofcourse this was not happening if user pressed Cancel-button. Propably
I'm doing something wrong, but what? Anyway I'm getting printings fine.
By a way... 1cm = 0,3937" and 1" = 2,540005cm ...if needed :)

Thanks in advance!
