Formated printing from VB60

[jamsek19]

Hi all.
I want to send some formatted (fontified) text to windows printer directly - not trough any VB controls for example RichTextBox. I want also include some picture in the same printing page.
How can I do that.
Thanks for reply

In vb (not VBA) there is a printer object. You can do most anything you want via the properties and methods available therein. 'Tis not for the failn of heart, as not only CAN you do most anything - what ever is done, you MUST do it piece-meal. This includes setting the font and it;s attributes, the location (X-Y coordinates) to print, pag margins ...

There is never time to do it right but there is always time to do it over

Hello.
Yes. I use Printer object and I prepare right printer from collection and prepare fontified string to send to printer. And then? How can I use Print method? If I use xObject.Print I got error. Where am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Andrej,

The Printer IS the object. After setting the printer to the font, size, etc. you want, you would print by coding:

Printer.Print strYourString

or

Printer.Print YourObject

Hope this helps. "It's got to be the going,

Thanks.
I make:
set p as Printer
set p as Printer
.
.
set right printer from control panel
.
.
p.Print strMyString ...didn't work. But


set p as Printer
.
.
set right printer from control panel
.
.
set Printer = p
Printer.Print strMyString ...work fine

Again. Thanks a lot to all of you
