Remarks
The PrintForm component enables you to print an image of a form to a printer, to a print preview window, or to a file at run time. Its behavior replaces that of the PrintForm method in earlier versions of Visual Basic.
Examples
The following example shows a common use of the PrintForm component.
Dim pf As New PrintForm
pf.Form = Me
pf.PrintAction = PrintToPrinter
pf.Print()
Thread Safety
Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
