Print the Text in a Textbox Part II..(Page Setup and Print Dialog)

Submitted by janobe on Sunday, April 27, 2014 - 11:08.

This is the continuation of my previous tutorial which is the Print the Text in a Textbox. This time, I’m going to add the Page Setup and Print Dialog. In the Page Setup you can choose any setup that you wanted in your page and it contains selections such as the margin,sizes and etc.. While in the Print Dialog you can select the number of pages and copies that you want to print. And you can set up your printer too. Let’s begin : Open the file Print the Text in a Textbox and add the two Buttons, PageSetupDialog and Print Dialog in the Form. Name the two Buttons, first is “btnpageset” and the other one is “btnprintdia”. It will look like this. first form

Double click the “Page Setup” Button and do this following code.

Private Sub btnpageset_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnpageset.Click
        With PageSetupDialog1
            'SET THE VALUE THAT INDICATES THE PRINT DOCUMENT TO GET PAGE SETTING FORM.
            .Document = PrintDocument1
            'SET THE VALUE THAT INDICATES TO MODIFY THE PAGE SETTINGS
            .PageSettings = PrintDocument1.DefaultPageSettings
        End With
        If PageSetupDialog1.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
            'SET THE DEFAULT SETTING FOR ALL THE PAGES TO BE PRINTED
            PrintDocument1.DefaultPageSettings = PageSetupDialog1.PageSettings
        End If
    End Sub

After that, go to the design views, double click the “Print Dialog” Button and do this following code.

  Private Sub btnpagedia_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnpagedia.Click
        If PrintDialog1.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then 'CHECKING THE DIALOG RESULT
            PrintDocument1.Print() 'START THE PRINTING PROCESS
        End If
    End Sub

You can download the complete source code and run it on your computer.
