Printer dialog settings behavior: some settings are not retained
Posted: Mon Sep 17, 2007 6:00 pm
In code i make appear a PrintDialog then i pass its "PrinterSettings" to the report "Print" method asking it to show another print dialog:
If in the first "Print dialog" i choose a papersource different than default (eg. "Manual feed") then when appears the second "Print dialog" (invoked by the report.print method) the papersource proposed is the default, not the "Manual feed", though i passed the first "Print dialog" printer settings.
Why is this setting (and others too) not retained?
It seems that retained settings are only number of copies and few others.
Thanks.
Code: Select all
Dim pd As New System.Windows.Forms.PrintDialog
pd.ShowDialog()
Report.Print(True, pd.PrinterSettings)
