Printing Questions

[skelsey]

I am looking for a way to print a document that has been created without saving it. Can this bee done with Spire? See code block below. Don't want to have to save and load file to print.

Private Sub btnSpire_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSpire.Click

Dim dt As Orders.OrderDataDataTable
Dim dr As Orders.OrderDataRow
Dim da As New OrdersTableAdapters.OrderDataTableAdapter
Dim i As Integer

dt = da.GetOrderData()

For i = 0 To dt.Rows.Count - 1
dr = dt.Rows(i)
Dim testDoc As New Document()

addHeader(dr, testDoc)
addStaticRowHeader(testDoc)
insertpic(dr.SMALL_IMAGE, testDoc)
testDoc.SaveToFile(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "\" & i.ToString() & "TEST.doc", FileFormat.Doc)
dv.LoadFromFile(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "\" & i.ToString() & "TEST.doc")
PrintME(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "\" & i.ToString() & "TEST.doc")
Next i

Debug.WriteLine(Now.ToString())


End Sub

Also if you save the document is there a way to print multiple document without showing the print dialog screen for confirmation? if i have ten documents I want all ten to print. the user doesn't need to change or select options because the document is custom.

Private Sub PrintME(ByVal tmpDoc As String)
Dim dialog As New PrintDialog()
Dim result As DialogResult = dialog.ShowDialog()

dialog.AllowCurrentPage = True
dialog.AllowSomePages = True
dialog.UseEXDialog = True

If result = DialogResult.OK Then
Try

dv.PrintDialog = dialog
dialog.Document = dv.PrintDocument
dv.PrintDocument.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = True
dialog.Document.Print()

Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error)
End Try

End If

End Sub

Hello skelsey,

Thanks for your inquiry.

In regards to your issue, please refer to the code below,

Code: Select all

Private Sub Print_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Print.Click
        Dim document As New Document()
        Dim section As Section = document.AddSection()
        section.PageSetup.PageSize = PageSize.A4
        section.PageSetup.Margins.Top = 72.0F
        section.PageSetup.Margins.Bottom = 72.0F
        section.PageSetup.Margins.Left = 89.85F
        section.PageSetup.Margins.Right = 89.85F
        Dim paragraph As Paragraph = section.AddParagraph()
        paragraph.Format.HorizontalAlignment = Spire.Doc.Documents.HorizontalAlignment.Left
        Dim p1 As String = "Microsoft Word is a word processor designed by Microsoft. " & "It was first released in 1983 under the name Multi-Tool Word for Xenix systems. " & "Subsequent versions were later written for several other platforms including " & "IBM PCs running DOS (1983), the Apple Macintosh (1984), the AT&T Unix PC (1985), " & "Atari ST (1986), SCO UNIX, OS/2, and Microsoft Windows (1989). "
        Dim p2 As String = "Microsoft Office Word instead of merely Microsoft Word. " & "The 2010 version appears to be branded as Microsoft Word, " & "once again. The current versions are Microsoft Word 2010 for Windows and 2008 for Mac."
        section.AddParagraph().AppendText(p1).CharacterFormat.FontSize = 14
        section.AddParagraph().AppendText(p2).CharacterFormat.FontSize = 14
        'Print

Hi Gary,

thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I have put the code changes that you suggest, but I get an error that the
PrintDialog is not a member of the Spire.Doc.Document &
PrintDocument is not a member of the Spire.Doc.Document
