Printing scrollable form

Question

I have a scroll-able form which I would like to print entirely.

I have already tried using this code to print it:

    Private Sub btnPrint_Click(ByVa         


        

Answer 1

In this line:

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

It looks like PrintOption.Scrollable is only going to work, if you have a scrollable form. You have a scrollable control here (probably a Panel), inside a form. In this case its area will not be expanded onto the printer. Compare:

Scrollable control:

prints as:

Scrollable form:

prints as:

According to this official answer from Microsoft, capturing a scrollable control is not possible with PrintForm. If you use a PrintDocument and some custom coding, you can do it for simple cases, such as a scrollable TextBox. In your case you may need even more custom coding to be done. Handling PrintDocument1.PrintPage looks like the best place to start, if you are up to it.
