Print Setup Dialog Issues

Hi,

I'm having an unusual problem with the Print Setup Dialog box. I've got it
synchronizing it's PageSettings with my PrintDocument, but unfortunately
it's not using the same measurement-units when calculating margins.

If I set all the margins on my PrintDocument to be 42 (where 42 100ths of an
inch is roughly equal to 1cm), and then show the print setup dialog, it
shows all margins to be equal to 4.2 and the units are in millimeters!

Why is the Print Setup Dialog doing this conversion, and is there any way I
can tell it to think in different units? Is there any way around this?

Thanks,
Alex Clark
 
I have seen the same behaviour and havn't been able to determine what causes
it. Sometimes the units are in millimeters sometimes in inches. Wierd!
I would like to know more are well.

Hello Alex,

I know this issue in .NET Framework 1.0, and it has been fixed after build
3905. May I know what version of .NET Framework are you using? I suggest
you downloading and installing the last .NET Framework from following
address:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/downloads/howtoget.aspx

Please let me know if it doesn't fix the issue.

Hi Lion,

I'm using .NET 1.1, the release edition (which I think is build 4322).
Still having no luck working around it.

Cheers,
Alex Clark

Hello Alex,

Sorry, I just found that this bug is planned to be fixed in future version,
not the 1.1. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Hi,

Is there any workaround I can use until then? Will there be a service pack
for 1.1 which will fix it, or do we have to wait until 2004 for .NET 2.0?

Thanks,
Alex Clark

Hello Alex,

The only way I found to work around it is to recalculate the margins.
Regarding the fix of it, i am sorry about that I could not find the info
about it :(
