Note

Functions and objects in the Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Printing.Compatibility.VB6 namespace are provided for use by the tools for upgrading from Visual Basic 6.0 to Visual Basic 2010. In most cases, these functions and objects duplicate functionality that you can find in other namespaces in the .NET Framework. They are necessary only when the Visual Basic 6.0 code model differs significantly from the .NET Framework implementation.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to set the FillColor property to print a filled red circle.

Dim pr As New Printer
pr.FillStyle = vbFSSolid
pr.FillColor = vbRed
pr.Circle(2000, 2000, 1000)
pr.EndDoc()
