Mistake on Microsoft MSDN article?

[x508]

Hi.

I recently posted a question about printing the MsChart.

Dr. JavaJoe helped me by refering me to the following link.

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;168749

This page suggests that I can do this to print the MsChart control, but I'm sure that they are missing something, cause it didn't work for me...

It seems to me that they have missed a line of code, not?

This is there code:

MSChart1.EditCopy
DoEvents ' may be needed for large datasets
Printer.Print " "
Picture1.PaintPicture Clipboard.GetData(), 0, 0
Printer.EndDoc

But they should have added this line:

MSChart1.EditCopy
DoEvents ' may be needed for large datasets
Printer.Print " "
Picture1.PaintPicture Clipboard.GetData(), 0, 0

*** Printer.PaintPicture Picture1.Image,0,0

Printer.EndDoc

I was just wondering.....

Hello,
I was reading your post and also went to the MSDN website. I do presure that you are right there is at list one line missing and also it does not tell the user that he/she should place a Imagebox on the form.
The ony problem I have is that it prints a grey box that's all. it displays data and the graph in the picturebox but not on the sheet when printing. did you have more luck ?
Thanks
Paolo

Er...you don't need an Imagebox

It is also worth pointing out that the actual error in the example is that whoever wrote it tested with a picturebox, and then failed to convert it fully to a printer. The example should read:

[COLOR=blue]    MSChart1.EditCopy
    DoEvents   [green]' may be needed for large datasets[/green]
    Printer.Print " "
    [b]Printer[/b].PaintPicture Clipboard.GetData(), 0, 0
    Printer.EndDoc
[/color]

Did you give them some feedback on this? There's usually a link at the bottom of the page for this.
