I've been writing a tunnel asbuilting program that draws a picture of the
actual shape of the tunnel in a picture box, and has lines of text to give
exact details of the asbuilt.

I've got all these objects in a form. I tried to draw the form at 210mm wide
and 297 tall so that when I print it it comes out directly onto and A4 sheet
of paper.
Firstly, VB doesn't let you set the size of the form past about 250mm
vertically, and secondly, the form is massive and is off the screen. Which
makes it incredibly cumbersome to use.

What i've started to do is work with everything half the size, in the hope
that one of you can tell me how I can print the form, but at twice the size.
My current solution is to scale up by 200% with a photocopier, but surely
there is a better way!!!!!

Thanks in advance,

Steve

I would perform all of the "real drawing" on a scaled screen preview or on a
mono memory DC and DIB, StretchBlt'ing that to a scaled screen preview, then
print off the full version to the printer.
Hope that made sense...   :-)
Forms are not real keen for trying to get high-quality printed output from.
