print contents of textbox

[buddyel]

I have a multi-line textbox that displays a row of data from a SELECT query. How can I get this text to printout. Do I need to add the printdialog and printdocument to the form, or can i do it all with code??

Hello buddyel,
I am afraid that you need to use the PrintDocument to print the text.

Ok, do you what the code is to have (txtOut.text) to be the printdocument value?

Hello buddyel,
In order to print the text you need to add a printdocument object on your form. then you need to add the following:

----------------- PrintDocument1.PrintPage -------------

Private Sub PrintDocument1_PrintPage(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs) Handles PrintDocument1.PrintPage
e.Graphics.DrawString(txtOut.text, New Font("Arial", 20), Brushes.Black, 10, 10)
End Sub


and also add PrintDocument1.Print() where you want to print the text

hope that helps,
Camel
