Hi,

What would be the best way to print all contents of a Form?

Thanks,
Max

Hi,

Assuming this is a Windows Form, take a screenshot of the form
(Alt+PrintScreen), and then paste it into any Image editor application
(even MS PaintBrush). Then save or print it out.

HTH,

Regards,

Cerebrus.

Sorry I didn't clearly explain the question.

How can I print a WinForms by using C# code.

I am looking to have a button in my form and after pressing the button, the
form and it's data get printed. The form might contain scrollable ritch text
boxes.

Thank you,
Max

Hi Max,

Thanks for your feedback.

To programmatically capture a screen shoot of the form, we can p/invoke
Win32 BitBlt API. Please refer to "How do I capture a bitmap of a form?"
topic from the link below:

Below is a VB.net sample:
"Code: Printing a Windows Form (Visual Basic)"

Hope this helps!
