When I use the following the code to print in prints on one line. How do I put a hard return at the end of each line. So I can have different more than one line.

Private Sub PrintDocument1_PrintPage_1(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs) Handles PrintDocument1.PrintPage
      For Me.counter = 0 To 19
          e.Graphics.DrawString(writeline(Me.counter), printFont, _
          System.Drawing.Brushes.Black, 10, 10)
      Next Me.counter
  End Sub

by using the follow code resolved the issues

Dim strPrint As New StringBuilder
        For Me.counter = 0 To 19
            strPrint.Append(printline(Me.counter) & vbCrLf)
        Next Me.counter

        e.Graphics.DrawString(strPrint.ToString, printFont, System.Drawing.Brushes.Black, 10, 10)

        If System.IO.File.Exists(SaveFileDialog1.FileName) Then

            printfile = File.OpenText(SaveFileDialog1.FileName)
            printfile = System.IO.File.OpenText(SaveFileDialog1.FileName)
            Do Until printfile.Peek = -1
                menuitem(printcounter) = printfile.ReadLine
                e.Graphics.DrawString(printfile.ReadLine, printFont, _
                System.Drawing.Brushes.Black, 10, 10)
                printcounter = printcounter + 1
            Loop

            printfile.Close()


        End If

now the problem is tab spacing.

You need to add a line feed char at the end of each line. Try this :

For Me.counter = 0 To 19
    e.Graphics.DrawString(WriteLine(Me.counter & vbCrLf), printFont, System.Drawing.Brushes.Black, 10, 10)
Next Me.counter

Hope this helps.

[EDIT]
Sorry that won't work either. That will print one line on top of another. The best eway to do this is with a stringbuilder like this :

Dim strPrint As New StringBuilder
For Me.counter = 0 To 19
    strPrint.Append(counter & vbCrLf)
Next Me.counter
e.Graphics.DrawString(strPrint.ToString, New Font("Ariel", 12), System.Drawing.Brushes.Black, 10, 10)

you will need to import System.Text into your class.

Hope THIS helps.

I have tried hard coding the hard return the string array but still did not work.

Sorry, I don't quite get what you mean, although I tried a test and my second example works perfectly. The only thing was a typo in the font declaration, "Ariel" should be "Arial".

why are we appending the counter which is an index of the wriline string array.

Dim strPrint As New StringBuilder
       For Me.counter = 0 To 19
           strPrint.Append(counter & vbCrLf)
       Next Me.counter
       e.Graphics.DrawString(strPrint.ToString, New Font("Ariel", 12), System.Drawing.Brushes.Black, 10, 10)

should be

<pre><code> Dim strPrint As New StringBuilder
For Me.counter = 0 To 19
strPrint.Append(writeline(me.counter) & vbCrLf)
Next Me.counter
e.Graphics.DrawString(strPrint.ToString, New Font("Ariel", 12), System.Drawing.Brushes.Black, 10, 10)</code></pre>

Experts

I have an inbuilt web browser with a fairly simple web page. I some text that is needed to go from the web browser onto the vb.net document which the web browser is on. (hopefully that makes sense)

I have looked around but can't seem to find anything.

Imagine someone highlighting the text presing ctrl c in the web browser and then in the .net doc ctrl v, this is what i want to do but automatically.

Any help would be great

Cheers

Dan

You can access the clipboard by using the My.Computer.Clipboard object. You would still need an event to use to copy and paste (maybe using buttons). Ctrl-c, and Ctrl-v automatically work as intended on both Browser and Textbox contrtols.

no "-" after DD

strdate = Format(Now,"YYYY-MM-DD HH.MM.SS")

and also check by going to your references , it will show you the missing Project Library starting with the word Missing that is there any lib missing also or not. Smile | :)
