It is in my own application I need to catch the printdocument before it outputs to the printer and get an image of it. Effectivly a bitmap. like printtoimage or something

Almost funny. By printdocument i mean System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument

Hi, Does anyone know of a way to get an image of a print document and save it to a bitmap file? It is even possible?

I have a vb.net that generates a print document with multiple A5 pages. i need to be able to pring two pages per sheet on A4 paper. I am unable to find a property for this in PrintDocument.DefaultPageSettings or anywhere in the PrintDialog settings. Does anyone know a way of acheiving this. Regards, Martin

Ok, I have 2 RTB with diffent contents I need to print these two RTBs contents on a single page My plan is to use the GDI to an image of each RTB and then cmbine and print them. Now the problem. more tha half my users will be on those godaweful netbooks with a screen resolution of 1024x6 and an A4 page and the my two RTBs is 1045x718 plus margins. So the problem is that i need to capture the whole control and not just what is onscreen.

Hi Luc, It is almost af if you can read minds. It is a richtextbox that i need an image of. There is no Control.DrawToBitmap() on the control and i have looked pretty much everywhere. I came accross this article [Here] which gave me the idea but none of the execution. If you know of any way to get an image of a RichTextBox without using a screen capture, it would be much appreciated.

Hi, I am wondering if anyone coul help. I need use the paint event of a control to retun an image of that control. I dont even know where to start. Regards, Martin
