Am having a Problem Printing with visual Basic 6.0, I need to print an employee record and i really want to make it look like a grid view but its not working,I need help,

How do we help if we have no clue what the actual problem is with your code?? Any Exceptions??

I have been able to call the System Printer with the common dialog control,but i cant assign the work i want to print to the printer, I only use the Print Form Method. Also the grid control is very messy, I put it in a form, and the scroll bar disappears. Can You Help Me Out.

Is data you are trying to print coming from database?
If it does, design a data report and fill the data inside and them print.
If not Write a program that will retrieve all the values in the grid and align it in a text box and then use system Printer to print it.

For you to choose printer you have to search the enumeration for each printer in printers such data you will see all printers in the system.

Any personal Help goto my post Post your VB problems here then I will write the code for you because I always visit it and attend to questions.

take care.

Hi:

I am trying to learn how to program on visual basic 6.0 by my own. So I have some data on a text box and I want to print it. I don't have idea of how to do it. If somebody can help me i will appreciate it. You can e mail me if you want.

Thanks.

Printer.Print Text1.Text

Hey, thank you very much. I will use the code you posted. thanks again.

Ok. I know how to print now. thanks. Can somebody help me again. I want to print receipts. Sow I want to manupulate what I have on my text box. Any advises??
Thanks for your help,

If you are designing static reciept, the one given to you to design. i should advice to create in either in any designing too and later export it as an image. Send it on your form. Add textboxes where neccessary, do so on two forms. use one as preview and other for printing. so call form.print method and it will print the reciept for you. If you dont know the reciept, you can design it using crystal report and stuff like that. But take longer effort.
