Screen Print to a Printer HELP.........

[Chris Calhoun]

Does anyone know how to with an event like on_buttonclick send a screen shot
of the active window to the printer. Explanation and\or code samples would
be helpful.


Thanks in advance!!!

Chris,

You will probably have to use a little interop code here. If you have
the handle to a window, and you have a device context handle (which you can
get from the Graphics class), then you can call PrintWindow to have the
window paint itself on the device context. Of course, you will have to make
the call through the P/Invoke layer.

Hope this helps.
