xps document writer

Question

I have a small program in which I am printing to XPS Document Writer.  I want to set the output file name from within my program.  I don't want the user to have to enter a file name.    How can I set the name of the *.xps file in my program?

Thanks, Philip

 

Answer 1

I figured it out.  Set the output to file and then set the file name.  Like this

 PrintForm1.PrinterSettings.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = True
        PrintForm1.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = "Microsoft XPS Document Writer"
        PrintForm1.PrinterSettings.PrintToFile = True
        PrintForm1.PrinterSettings.PrintFileName = "C:\Philip.XPS"

        PrintForm1.Print(Me, PowerPacks.Printing.PrintForm.PrintOption.Scrollable)

Thanks.
