Print from Printer Object to Picturebox

[three57m]

Is it possible to print the contents of the printer object to a picturebox?

Still trying to solve your RTB preview problem? Or is this something new?

Yes, the EM_FORMATRANGE method almost does the job but it calculates certain fonts incorrectly causing characters to be truncated on the right.

>certain fonts incorrectly causing characters to be truncated on the right

I've been using EM_FORMATRANGE for years under a variety of situations (WYSIWYG printing, measuring the length of mixed font strings, etc) and never encountered this. And VB's RTB itself uses EM_FORMATRANGE to print to the printer object - .SelPrint is just a wrapper for it, so I'd expect the output to the printer device to be clipped as well if EM_FORMATRANGE is to blame.

Could you provide an example of a font for which this occurs, and I can then see and perhaps understand the clipping you are referring to?

I should have posted this to the previous thread so I am going to post my response to you in that thread.
