Up until now I have been able to avoid using Common Dialog by accessing printers
directly. This is no longer possible, so-
Using VB5 under XP Home Edition. I use the Common Dialog functions to select a
printer and output my data.
1. If I am in the VB5 IDE, the printer output appears to be non-proportional and
looks perfect because it all lines up.
2. If I am running the compiled program by itself, the printer output uses a
smaller font which apparently is proportional and the result is very ragged
looking as nothing lines up.
3. When I tried using the Common Dialog Show Font method, I got an error message
saying that no fonts were installed. (Word for Windows lists dozens of fonts so
they must be installed and all of them appear to be TrueType.)
Does anyone has any ideas about what else I might try?

You have to tell the control which Fonts you want via the Flag property.
Assuming you named the control CommonDialog1 (the default)...
For Screen Fonts only
=============== ========
CommonDialog1.F lags = cdlCFScreenFont s
For Printer Fonts only
=============== ========
CommonDialog1.F lags = cdlCFPrinterFon ts
For Both
=============== ========
CommonDialog1.F lags = cdlCFScreenFont s Or cdlCFPrinterFon ts

I have a generic page that I use for printing content, and it contains
an iframe into which I put the url for the page to be printed. I
dynamically size the iframe so that it correctly displays the entire
contents of the printed page.
There are 2 problems with this:
1) The resulting printout chops off the bottom part of the page, even
though it displays the full page in the browser. Even in print preview
it still chops off the bottom....

Hello!
I have a database with alot of embedded images. The reason for having
the images embedded is security.
My problem is that it works fine on my computer, but not on my clients
computer. He hasn't got Microsoft Photo Editor installed and because
of that he cant view the images when doubleclicking on them in the
table. He can still see the pictures in the formview but when he
doubelclicks the images a error message shows up.

Hey folks, I have an ASP.NET web app that's working just
fine, but a small percentage have two printing problems
that don't happen to the vast majority of users. These
problems are listed below and do NOT appear on the print
preview, but do when they actually print:
Radio buttons aren't printing at all.
Disable values are not printing, like the text in a

In VB6 (converted to VB2005) there are 6 different sub-menu items where the
user has a choice of listing items on the screen or printing out a list of
items.
Each such menu item puts the name of a file in a string variable and calls a
print routine. Obviously I have boucoup errors and warnings.
But the documentation always shows doing the printing from a button click. I
don't have a button to click !!

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,...
