I have an application created with VB6 and now I'm converting it to VB 2005.
Conversion is not so simple because printing is so much different.
In my app I have Timer-component, which is creates graphics to printer every
second. After 2 minutes it calls Printer.Enddoc and the result is printed
out. Printing process is on background and I can use my program normally
during this 2 minutes.
Now in VB 2005 if I'm right, whole printing process starts when I call
Printdocument1.Print. Is there some way to send graphics to printer before
that command and then simulate Enddoc-command with this PrintDocument1.Print
command?
Oh, and creating a bitmap or textfile during these 2 minutes is not
suitable, because text should be printed as text and lines as lines, not as
bitmap.
Hopefully somebody understood what I'm trying to explain. Maybe there is a
solution, but I haven't figured it out yet.
