Namespace:  Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Printing
Assembly:  Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Vs (in Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Vs.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Enumeration PrintOption
public enum PrintOption
public enum class PrintOption
type PrintOption
public enum PrintOption

Members

Member name Description
CompatibleModeClientAreaOnly Uses the compatible printing implementation to print the currently visible client area.
CompatibleModeFullWindow Uses the compatible printing implementation to print the currently visible form. This includes the title bar, scroll bars, and border.
ClientAreaOnly Uses a new implementation to print the currently visible client area.
FullWindow Uses a new implementation to print the currently visible form. This includes the title bar, scroll bars, and border.
Scrollable Uses a new implementation to print the full client area, even if part of it is scrolled out of view.

Remarks

If you want to include the title bar, scroll bars, and border in the printed image, choose either CompatibleModeFullWindow or FullWindow.

If you want to print the form at its designed size, choose Scrollable.

The Print method uses one of two underlying implementations for printing. When PrintOption is set to CompatibleModeClientAreaOnly or CompatibleModeFullWindow, an implementation that is backward compatible with the Visual Basic 6.0 PrintForm method is used. When this parameter is set to ClientAreaOnly, FullWindow or Scrollable, a different implementation that doesn't require the form to have focus is used.
