I have a form with labels and a datagridview, and I want to print the contents. To that end, I've written the following:
int i = 0;
while(i < DataGridView1.Rows.Count)
{
e.Graphics.DrawLine(Pen, new Point(818, y), new Point(818, y + 35));
e.Graphics.DrawString(DataGridView1.Rows[i].Cells[0].Value.ToString(), new Font("Arial", 16, FontStyle.Bold), Brushes.Black, new Point(770, y + 7), format1);
y += 35;
if (y > e.PageBounds.Height - 25)
{
y = 50;
e.HasMorePages = true;
return;
}
else
{
e.HasMorePages = false;
}
i++;
}
It works when there is only one page, but subsequent pages are duplicates of the first page. When I remove the return statement, I get all the data, but on one page.
How can I fix this?

I am developing a system just like Camera mouse or other face control mouse, I have implemented all the functionality, the mouse pointer is also moving well, but I want to create the movement smooth just like the mouse control the pointer. the code I am using is:
if (startButton == true)
{
try
{
cap = new Capture();
pictureBox1.Image = cap.QueryFrame().ToImage<Bgr, Byte>().Bitmap;
}
catch (Exception exp)
{
MessageBox.Show("Error:" + exp);
}
_cascadeClassifier = new CascadeClassifier(Application.StartupPath + "/haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml");
eye_cascadeClassifier = new CascadeClassifier(Application.StartupPath + "/haarcascade_eye.xml");
timer1.Start();
}
private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
using (var imageFrame = cap.QueryFrame().ToImage<Bgr, Byte>().Flip(FlipType.Horizontal))
{
if (imageFrame != null)
{
var grayframe = imageFrame.Convert<Gray, byte>();
var faces = _cascadeClassifier.DetectMultiScale(grayframe, 1.1, 10, Size.Empty); //the actual face detection happens here
foreach (var face in faces)
{
if(Configure.FaceBoxCheck==true)
imageFrame.Draw(face, new Bgr(Color.LightGreen), 2); //the detected face(s) is highlighted here using a box that is drawn around it/them
Int32 yCoordStartSearchEyes = face.Top + (face.Height * 3 / 11);
Point startingPointSearchEyes = new Point(face.X, yCoordStartSearchEyes);
Size searchEyesAreaSize = new Size(face.Width, (face.Height * 3 / 11));
Rectangle possibleROI_eyes = new Rectangle(startingPointSearchEyes, searchEyesAreaSize);
int widthNav = (imageFrame.Width / 11 * 3);
int heightNav = (imageFrame.Height / 11 * 3);
Rectangle nav = new Rectangle(new Point(imageFrame.Width / 2 - widthNav / 2, imageFrame.Height / 2 - heightNav / 2), new Size(widthNav, heightNav));
imageFrame.Draw(nav, new Bgr(Color.Lavender), 3);
Point cursor = new Point(face.X + searchEyesAreaSize.Width / 2, yCoordStartSearchEyes + searchEyesAreaSize.Height / 2);
grayframe.ROI = possibleROI_eyes;
var eyes = eye_cascadeClassifier.DetectMultiScale(grayframe, 2.15, 3, Size.Empty);
foreach (var eye in eyes)
{
//imageFrame.Draw(eye, new Bgr(Color.Red), 2);
if(Configure.EyeBoxCheck==true)
imageFrame.Draw(possibleROI_eyes, new Bgr(Color.DarkGreen), 2);
if (nav.Left < cursor.X && cursor.X < (nav.Left + nav.Width) && nav.Top < cursor.Y && cursor.Y < nav.Top + nav.Height)
{
LineSegment2D CursorDraw = new LineSegment2D(cursor, new Point(cursor.X, cursor.Y + 1));
imageFrame.Draw(CursorDraw, new Bgr(Color.White), 3);
//we compute new cursor coordinate using a simple scale based on frame width and height
int xCoord = (imageFrame.Width * (cursor.X - nav.Left)) / nav.Width;
int yCoord = (imageFrame.Height * (cursor.Y - nav.Top)) / nav.Height;
//We set our new cursor position
Cursor.Position = new Point(xCoord * 2, yCoord *2);
}
}
}
Ok, I'm sure there are a lot of other better ways, but this is a quick&dirty way of moving cursor position in a "Smooth" way from point a to point b. Of course this implementation can and should be optimized using a different thread instead of using Application.DoEvents() to avoid blocking the UI thread, but i hope this gets you on the track. First, how you should use it. Instead of:
Cursor.Position = new Point(xCoord * 2, yCoord *2);
You should do this:
MoveCursorSmooth(Cursor.Position, new Point(xCoord * 2, yCoord *2));
Now, the implementation of MoveCursorSmooth:
private void MoveCursorSmooth(Point a, Point b)
{
var step = 5;
var left = Math.Min(a.X, b.X);
var right = Math.Max(a.X, b.X);
int width = right - left;
var top = a.Y;
var bottom = b.Y;
int height = bottom - top;
if (width > height)
{
double slope = (double)height / (double)width;
if (a.X <= b.X)
for (int x = 1; x < width; ++x)
{
Cursor.Position = new Point((left + x), (a.Y + ((int)(slope * x + 0.5))));
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(step);
Application.DoEvents();
}
else
for (int x = 1; x < width; ++x) // xOffset
{
Cursor.Position = new Point((right - x), (a.Y + ((int)(slope * x + 0.5))));
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(step);
Application.DoEvents();
}
}
else
{
double slope = (double)width / (double)height;
if (a.X <= b.X)
{
for (int y = 1; y < height; ++y)
{
Cursor.Position = new Point((a.X + ((int)(slope * y + 0.5))), (top + y));
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(step);
Application.DoEvents();
}
}
else
{
for (int y = 1; y < height; ++y)
{
Cursor.Position = new Point((b.X + ((int)(slope * y + 0.5))), (bottom - y));
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(step);
Application.DoEvents();
}
}
}
}
This method is based on this answer
I have a grid view and I want to print it.
This is my code:
private void printDocument1_PrintPage(object sender, System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs e) {
int rowCounter = 0;
int z = 0;
StringFormat str = new StringFormat();
str.Alignment = StringAlignment.Near;
str.LineAlignment = StringAlignment.Center;
str.Trimming = StringTrimming.EllipsisCharacter;
int width = 500 / (GridView.Columns.Count - 2);
int realwidth = 100;
int height = 40;
int realheight = 100;
for (z = 0; z < GridView.Columns.Count - 1; z++)
{
e.Graphics.FillRectangle(Brushes.AliceBlue, realwidth, realheight, width, height);
e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(Pens.Black, realwidth, realheight, width, height);
e.Graphics.DrawString(GridView.Columns[z].HeaderText, GridView.Font, Brushes.Black, realwidth, realheight);
realwidth = realwidth + width;
}
z = 0;
realheight = realheight + height;
while (rowCounter < GridView.Rows.Count)
{
realwidth = 100;
e.Graphics.FillRectangle(Brushes.AliceBlue, realwidth, realheight, width, height);
e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(Pens.Black, realwidth, realheight, width, height);
e.Graphics.DrawString(GridView.Rows[rowCounter].Cells[0].Value.ToString(), GridView.Font, Brushes.Black, realwidth, realheight);
realwidth = realwidth + width;
}
printDialog1.Document = printDocument1;
printDialog1.ShowDialog();
}
and when the use click on the printing button, I do this:
DialogResult result = printDialog1.ShowDialog();
if (result == DialogResult.OK)
{
this.printDocument1.Print();
}
plus in the construction of the form, I initialze the printing variables like this:
this.printDocument1 = new System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument();
this.printDialog1 = new System.Windows.Forms.PrintDialog();
my problem that when I click print, I got empty page though the grid view has more than 320 rows
Update 1
I am following this tutorial http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsdesktop/CSWinFormPrintDataGridView-75864c45
Update 2
The grid view variable is GridView
The code is straightforward I guess
Update 3
I added
++rowCounter;
realheight = realheight + height;
ad the end of the while loop and still the same result
Your code as posted has at least three problems:
In your rows loop you don't advance the rowcounter, which will result in an endless loop.
You also don't advance your realheight variable, which will in result in overprinting all lines
since none of this happens your printDocument1_PrintPage event isn't called; you have probably only copied the code from the example and not actually hooked it up with the printDocument1.
Add to the loop's end:
rowCounter++;
realheight += height;
and in the constructor:
this.printDocument1.PrintPage += this.printDocument1_PrintPage;
Fixing these problems should at least print out something...
My problem is that is that my code prints the images overlapping each other. I do not know how to change the x and y positions. The printer should print 3 images per row and then move to the next row.

I have observed the code and found the issue.. in panel1_print u are not incrementing the values properly..
I have made the required changes now u will get the 4 bar in a line and 5th one in another line - check the attached image.
just replace ur panel1_Paint with this new code thats it you can find the changes..
I have marked them as
//start changes by Deepak
..
..
..
//end changes by Deepak
and also declare two variables loopValX and loopValY as int
here is the code..

You Should do it with the help of a DataGridView (That Contains Images in a Column).
The Images Will Then Print in each new row or column (by modifying as your desire)
The Following Class will do your work by passing it the whole DataGridView And Header in its constructor.

Your position variables are being declared inside the loop, meaning that they are reset for each pass through the loop. Keep position variables for X and Y outside of the loop over serial and adjust it for the total width (and height, if you start a new row of barcodes) of each barcode.
A datatable (dt) contains the data I want to print. 15 rows can fit on one page. The code works well for the first page, but the commented lines do not work, and an infinite number of pages are printed. Can anyone help fix this?
private void Doc_PrintPage(object sender, System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs e)
{
for (int y = 0; y <= dt.Columns.Count; y++)
{
e.Graphics.DrawLine(Pens.Black, 50 + (y * 150), 150, 50 + (y * 150), 1000);
}
for (int x = 0; x < dt.Rows.Count; x++)
{
e.Graphics.DrawLine(Pens.Black, 50, 200 + (x * 50), 700, 200 + (x * 50));
}
for (int z = 0; z < dt.Rows.Count; z++)
{
for (int d = 0; d < dt.Columns.Count; d++)
{
string element = dt.Rows[z][d].ToString();
e.Graphics.DrawString(element, new Font("Arial", 14, FontStyle.Italic), Brushes.Black, 60 + (d * 150), 210 + (50 * Rows));
}
//if (z % 15 == 0)
//{ e.HasMorePages = true; Rows = 0; break; }
//else { e.HasMorePages = false; }
Rows++;
}
}
Since an infinite number of pages print, your problem has to do with how you are determining if e.HasMorePages = true. Since z starts at 0, it can never get past 15 because once it gets to 15, the loop breaks and e.HasMorePages = true, and z = 0 again. What you could do to fix your problem is have a variable that keeps track of how many pages you have printed. You could try something like this:
int pages = 0;
private void Doc_PrintPage(object sender, System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs e)
{
//...
for (int z = pages * 15; z < dt.Rows.Count; z++)
{
for (int d = 0; d < dt.Columns.Count; d++)
{
//draw text
}
if (z - pages * 15 == 15)
{ e.HasMorePages = true; Rows = 0; pages++; break; }
else { e.HasMorePages = false; }
Rows++;
}
}
EDIT: Make sure that you reset pages back to zero every time you start to print, or else it won't print correctly. You could use the BeginPrint event.
private void Doc_BeginPrint(object sender, System.Drawing.Printing.PrintEventArgs e)
{
pages = 0;

I got a windows form which has more than one page of mainly labels and textboxes, I'm trying to keep the font that i have in the winform already, so far I'm able to print the first page, but when i try to add the rest of the controls it does all sort of weird stuff this is the part of my code where i'm putting everything to print but not all the controls in the panel show in the print preview. So i found out that the controls in the panel are not in order and what i need to do is create the number of printing pages first then put the controls in those printing pages. any help on trying to create the print pages first to add the controls to it. it will always be 4 print pages.
int mainCount = 0;
public void printStuff(System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs e)
{
Font printFont = new Font("Arial", 9);
int dgX = dataGridView1.Left;
int dgY = dataGridView1.Top += 22;
double linesPerPage = 0;
float yPos = 0;
int count = 0;
float leftMargin = e.MarginBounds.Left;
float topMargin = e.MarginBounds.Top;
float bottomMargin = e.MarginBounds.Bottom;
StringFormat str = new StringFormat();
linesPerPage = e.MarginBounds.Height / printFont.GetHeight(e.Graphics);
Control ctrl;
while ((count < linesPerPage) && (panel1.Controls.Count != mainCount))
{
ctrl = panel1.Controls[mainCount];
yPos = topMargin + (count * printFont.GetHeight(e.Graphics));
mainCount++;
count++;
if (ctrl is Label)
{
e.Graphics.DrawString(ctrl.Text, printFont, Brushes.Black, ctrl.Left + 5, ctrl.Top + 40);
}
else if (ctrl is TextBox)
{
e.Graphics.DrawString(ctrl.Text, printFont, Brushes.Black, ctrl.Left + 5, ctrl.Top + 40);
e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(Pens.Black, ctrl.Left, ctrl.Top + 40, ctrl.Width, ctrl.Height);
}
}
if (count > linesPerPage)
{
e.HasMorePages = true;
}
else
{
e.HasMorePages = false;
}
}
//Print
private void exportFileToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
printPreviewDialog1.Document = printDocument1;
printPreviewDialog1.ShowDialog();
}
private void printDocument1_PrintPage(object sender, System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs e)
{
printStuff(e);
}
It seems to me that the problem is that on subsequent pages you are not subtracting the "page offset" form the control Top positions when printing. You are essentially trying to use the screen coordinates of the controls when placing them on the printed page which obviously only works correctly for the first page. On subsequent pages you need to map the screen coordinates by subtracting a quantity which is the equivalent of the "total-printed-surface-so-far"..
You will want to modify this line for instance:
e.Graphics.DrawString(ctrl.Text, printFont, Brushes.Black, ctrl.Left + 5, ctrl.Top + 40);
to something like this:
e.Graphics.DrawString(ctrl.Text, printFont, Brushes.Black, ctrl.Left + 5, ctrl.Top + 40 - pageOffset);
where the pageOffset is a variable that should be computed for each page, based on the Height of the printable area: pageOffset = currentPageNumber * heightOfPrintableArea so you will also need to maintain a variable for the number of pages printed, similar to the mainCount
Of course, the same would apply to the other branch of your if statement:
e.Graphics.DrawString(ctrl.Text, printFont, Brushes.Black, ctrl.Left + 5, ctrl.Top + 40 - pageOffset);
e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(Pens.Black, ctrl.Left, ctrl.Top + 40 - pageOffset, ctrl.Width, ctrl.Height);
