Does anybody know, why the PrintForm-Method doesn't print the images which are shown in the BitmapVierew-Control ? Thank you for reading this thread and hopefully for your help. Greetings Holger

Place a BitmapViewer-Control on an empty Form and copy the following code: Code: `Private Sub Form_Load() Call BitmapViewer1.Bitmap.LoadThumbnailFromFile("c:\arttrade\bilder\uhren\11148.jpg", 100, 100) Me.PrintForm End Sub` The Print-Out will show an empty Form. After printing, the image in the BitmapViewer isn't drawn correctly. Hope you can reconstruct the Problem. Thank you.

As a workaround, you can make a screenshot of the window programmatically and print it with Printer object. To do it, you should: download screen capture code sample first. Insert its functions into your project (e.g. as a separate module for convenience). Do not forget about WinAPI imports in the beginning. After that the form can be printed with the following code: Code: `Dim pict As StdPicture Set pict = CaptureActiveWindow Picture1.Picture = pict Printer.PaintPicture pict, 0, 0 Printer.EndDoc` Note, as this code prints actual screenshot, you cannot call it from Form_Load event handler (because form has not been created yet and it will print content of the windows behind of this form). You should do it by button click or something like this. Hope this helps. Edited by user Monday, December 24, 2007 5:01:24 PM(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified
