Syntax

'Declaration
Public Enumeration PrintOption

public enum PrintOption

public enum class PrintOption

type PrintOption

public enum PrintOption

Members

	Member name	Description
	CompatibleModeClientAreaOnly	Uses the compatible printing implementation to print the currently visible client area.
	CompatibleModeFullWindow	Uses the compatible printing implementation to print the currently visible form. This includes the title bar, scroll bars, and border.
	ClientAreaOnly	Uses a new implementation to print the currently visible client area.
	FullWindow	Uses a new implementation to print the currently visible form. This includes the title bar, scroll bars, and border.
	Scrollable	Uses a new implementation to print the full client area, even if part of it is scrolled out of view.

Remarks

If you want to include the title bar, scroll bars, and border in the printed image, choose either CompatibleModeFullWindow or FullWindow.

If you want to print the form at its designed size, choose Scrollable.

The Print method uses one of two underlying implementations for printing. When PrintOption is set to CompatibleModeClientAreaOnly or CompatibleModeFullWindow, an implementation that is backward compatible with the Visual Basic 6.0 PrintForm method is used. When this parameter is set to ClientAreaOnly, FullWindow or Scrollable, a different implementation that doesn't require the form to have focus is used.
