HOw to print my textbox.text value to a specific portion of the paper
especially a 3.75 inches X 9.5 inches paper..


my first problem is to customize this kind of paper
and to print a textbox to specific location..


another question is :
if a user will try to print in a suggested number of paper

is looping method or not..

do you any sample code for that

....thnx.....

Hi VBras,

See my reply in the following post on how to use a custom paper size when printing:

> and to print a textbox to specific location..

When calling the Graphics.DrawString method,use theforth parameter to specify the upper-left corner of the drawn text. For example:
e.DrawString("this is a test", Me.Font, Brushes.Black, new PointF(200,300))

> if a user will try to print in a suggested number of paper

Do you mean that the user may want to print a range of pages, e.g.there're 10 pages total and the user only wants to print pages from No.4 to No.6?

You can use a variable to count the number of page that is to be printed in the PrintPage event handler of the PrintDocument. If the page number falls within the secified range, print it out; otherwise, just skip the printing.

For more information on how to print using PrintDocument class, refer to the following sample:

Hope this helps.
