PrintForm1 problem

Question

When using PrintForm1 to print out a text file the text is highlighted when it hits the paper. How do I work around this problem? Thanks.

Hi Redfork, 

Welcome to the MSDN forum.

Could you please provide the codes of printing button? And how about printing image and other documents?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

Private Sub btnPrint_Clic() Handles btnPrint.Click
        btnPrint.Hide()
        btnExit.Hide()
        Dim RetValue As DialogResult
        RetValue = MessageBox.Show("Printer turned on Y/N? ", "Print", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo)
        Select Case RetValue
            Case DialogResult.Yes
                PrintForm1.Print()
            Case DialogResult.No
        End Select
        btnPrint.Show()
        btnExit.Show()

    End Sub

Really don't know what you mean with your statement "how about printing image and other documents".

Thanks for your help.

The PrintForm component is designed to essentially print an image of what you see on screen, so I'm not sure why you're using to print text file. Please try PrintDocument instead.
