Re: Printing problems

I have an application created with VB6 and now I'm converting it to VB 2005. Conversion is not so simple because printing is so much different.

In my app I have Timer-component, which is creates graphics to printer every second. After 2 minutes it calls Printer.Enddoc and the result is printed out. Printing process is on background and I can use my program normally during this 2 minutes.

Now in VB 2005 if I'm right, whole printing process starts when I call Printdocument1.Print. Is there some way to send graphics to printer before that command and then simulate Enddoc-command with this PrintDocument1.Print command?

Oh, and creating a bitmap or textfile during these 2 minutes is not suitable, because text should be printed as text and lines as lines, not as bitmap.

Hopefully somebody understood what I'm trying to explain. Maybe there is a solution, but I haven't figured it out yet.

Would launching the printing in a new thread solve you problem? This would allow your program to function normally while the printing happens in the background.
