Hallo, i'm having troubles by printing on more pages.

I have a counter in the PrintDocument1_PrintPage(..) and i would like to
start a new page every 3 counts.

If tried it this way:

If (i + 1) Mod 3 = 0 Then
e.HasMorePages = True

End If




Part of my code:

Private Sub PrintDocument1_PrintPage(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs) Handles PrintDocument1.PrintPage

Try

e.Graphics.DrawString("TKD", New Font("Arial", 20, FontStyle.Bold),
Brushes.DarkGreen, 60, 50)

e.Graphics.DrawString("Overzicht Leveranciers", New Font("Arial", 15,
FontStyle.Bold), Brushes.Black, 60, 100)

e.Graphics.DrawString("-----------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------", New Font("Arial", 15,
FontStyle.Bold), Brushes.Black, 60, 120)

Dim i As Int32

For i = 0 To DgridLeveranciers.VisibleRowCount - 2

Dim Hoogte As Int32 = i * 320

'titels

e.Graphics.DrawString("id:", New Font("Arial", 10, FontStyle.Regular),
Brushes.Black, 400, 170 + Hoogte)

e.Graphics.DrawString("Firmanaam:", New Font("Arial", 12, FontStyle.Bold),
Brushes.Black, 70, 170 + Hoogte)

....


'gegevens

e.Graphics.DrawString(DgridLeveranciers.Item(i, 0), New Font("Arial", 10,
FontStyle.Regular), Brushes.Black, 420, 170 + Hoogte)

e.Graphics.DrawString(DgridLeveranciers.Item(i, 1), New Font("Arial", 12,
FontStyle.Bold), Brushes.Black, 190, 170 + Hoogte)

........

If (i + 1) Mod 3 = 0 Then

e.HasMorePages = True

End If

Next i

'aanduiden dat dit de laatste pagina is

e.HasMorePages = False

Catch

MessageBox.Show("Er is een fout opgetreden: " & vbCrLf & Err.Number & ": " &
Err.Description, "Fout!", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Warning)

End Try

End Sub

It doesn't make sense to set e.HasMorePages /within/ the loop because you
overwrite the value /after/ the loop. The printpage event is raised once per
page. After you printed the page (Drawstring), set e.HasMorePages to
indicate whether another page should be printed.

Hi,

If you set e.hasmorepages to true it will recall the print document
print event to print a new page. It does not start a new page then. Here
is a simple example.

Private Sub PrintDocument1_PrintPage(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal
e As System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs) Handles
PrintDocument1.PrintPage
Dim g As Graphics = e.Graphics
Static intItem As Integer = 0
Dim y As Integer = 0
Dim bDraw As Boolean = True

Do Until Not bDraw
y += 15
g.DrawString(intItem.ToString, Me.Font, Brushes.Black, 10, y)
intItem += 1
bDraw = (intItem Mod 3 <> 0)
Loop

If intItem = 18 Then
intItem = 0
Else
e.HasMorePages = True
End If
End Sub
