Need help !!! PaintPicture

Hello

I'd like to send an image to the printer. This image is in a picturebox
object. I use the following command :

Printer.PaintPicture main.Picture1.Picture

(main is the name of the form and the picturebox is named picture1)

but the following error occurs :

"argument non facultatif". I don't know how to translate it in english,
"argument is missing" perhaps...

Could anyone help me ? thaks for answer (and sorry for my poor english)

Along with the Object and the picture, you must pass the X,Y destination
coordinates of the upper left corner. The english translation of the error is
Argument not optional.

In addition: PaintPicture method can take several more parameters, i.e. to
resize the picture to fit a certain size on paper. Can be very handy to
use....

In general: If in doubt about the syntax of a method or function or command,
put the cursor on the keyword and press F1. The Help of VB isn't that
bad....

It must mean "argument not optional." You need to include the next two
parameters, which are the x and y coordinates of the upper left corner of
where the picture will appear on the page.

Marshall is correct, your syntax is missing the required properties. I know
you don't want to hear this but read the Help file on PaintPicture, it
specifies which parameters are required or optional.
