Printing in VB

Expand Post »

How do I print a particular label or textbox in visual basic?

By printing, I am referring to the actual hardcopy that comes out of a printer...haha

Thanks for your help.

Re: Printing in VB

A couple of ways...

Visual Basic 4 / 5 / 6 Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
Dim P As Printer
 
Debug.Print Printer.DeviceName
 
For Each P In Printers
  Debug.Print P.DeviceName
  If P.DeviceName = "The Name of the printer" Then
    Set Printer = P
    Exit For
  End If
Next P
 
Debug.Print Printer.DeviceName
Dim P As Printer

Debug.Print Printer.DeviceName

For Each P In Printers
  Debug.Print P.DeviceName
  If P.DeviceName = "The Name of the printer" Then
    Set Printer = P
    Exit For
  End If
Next P

Debug.Print Printer.DeviceName

or by using the common dialog control

Visual Basic 4 / 5 / 6 Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
Debug.Print Printer.DeviceName
 
CD.ShowPrinter
 
Debug.Print Printer.DeviceName
Debug.Print Printer.DeviceName

CD.ShowPrinter

Debug.Print Printer.DeviceName

Good Luck
