This seems to be a very simple thing but I just can't find anything to tell me how to do this. Everything seems to point to printing a document. I just want to print a hard copy of the current (active)screen (window/form).
Thanks for any help, JasinB(David)

private void printDocument1_PrintPage(object sender, System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs e)
{
Bitmap bm = new Bitmap(this.Width, this.Height);
this.DrawToBitmap(bm, this.ClientRectangle);
e.Graphics.DrawImage(bm, 0, 0);
}

Can you resend as Visual Basic code? I saw something like yours but was a lot more complicated.
Thanks again, JasinB(David)

Private Sub PrintDocument1_PrintPage(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs) Handles PrintDocument1.PrintPage
Dim w As Integer = Me.Width
Dim h As Integer = Me.Height
Dim bm As New Bitmap(w, h)
Me.DrawToBitmap(bm, Me.ClientRectangle)
e.Graphics.DrawImage(bm, 0, 0)
End Sub | | Ken Tucker Thursday, August 10, 2006 11:10 PM | Can you resend as Visual c++ code please?

Thanks. But for some reason, it almost works. It cuts off the bottom of the form it's printing.
I did finally find other code that did the job. The first line of codeis placed just below Public Class Form 1
Dim memoryImage As Bitmap
Private Sub CaptureScreen()
Dim myGraphics As Graphics = Me.CreateGraphics()
Dim s As Size = Me.Size
memoryImage = New Bitmap(s.Width, s.Height, myGraphics)
Dim memoryGraphics As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(memoryImage)
memoryGraphics.CopyFromScreen( Me.Location.X, Me.Location.Y, 0, 0, s)
End Sub
Private Sub PrintDocument1_PrintPage(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs) Handles PrintDocument1.PrintPage
e.Graphics.DrawImage(memoryImage, 35, 25)
End Sub
I run this from a button with these two line
CaptureScreen()
PrintDocument1.Print()
Note the 35 & 25 in the DrawImage method sets the upper left corner so that the form is centered on the piece of paper. Of course the numbers will need to be readjusted for different sized forms.
Thanks Again, JasinB(David)
| | jasinb Monday, August 14, 2006 7:19 PM | From the code:
private void printDocument1_PrintPage(object sender, System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs e)
{
Bitmap bm = new Bitmap(this.Width, this.Height);
this.DrawToBitmap(bm, this.ClientRectangle);
e.Graphics.DrawImage(bm, 0, 0);
}
I feel better to use the following statement: To get Clear and Exact Window size Picture
this.DrawToBitmap(bmp, new Rectangle(0, 0, bmp.Width, bmp.Height));
instead of this statement
this.DrawToBitmap(bmp, this.ClientRectangle);

| | My Best Solutions Sunday, August 23, 2009 8:10 AM | I got Problem at once. And i resolved that Problem. Try this;
public partial class Form3 : Form
{
PrintDocument PrintDoc1 = new PrintDocument();
PrintPreviewDialog PPDlg1 = new PrintPreviewDialog();
public Form3()
{
InitializeComponent();
PPDlg1.Document = PrintDoc1;
PrintDoc1.OriginAtMargins =true; //To set or Get the Position of a Graphic Object
PrintDoc1.PrintPage += PDoc_PrintPage;
}
private void btn_PrintPreview_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{// When PrintPreview Button Clicks
PPDlg1.ShowDialog();
}
private void PDoc_PrintPage(object sender, PrintPageEventArgs e)
{
Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(this.Width, this.Height);
//this.DrawToBitmap(bmp, this.ClientRectangle);
this.DrawToBitmap(bmp, new Rectangle(0, 0, bmp.Width, bmp.Height)); //Takes the Snap of the Exact WindowForm size as Bitmap image
e.Graphics.DrawImage(bmp, 0, 0);
}
private void btn_PrintPage_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{//When Print Button Clicks, Image will be show & Ready to Print
PrintDoc1.Print();
}
}
