Summary:
Under Windows version 3.1, if you print a Visual Basic form to a
printer by either selecting Print from the File menu during design
time or by using the PrintForm method during run time, some of the
controls on the form may not be not be printed (such as the frame,
command button, option button, or check box). This problem is known to
occur when using Windows 3.0 video drivers under Windows 3.1. The
problem is also known to occur with third-party video drivers that
claim to be Windows 3.1 compatible. The problem does not occur when
you run Visual Basic under Windows 3.0.
To overcome this problem, delete the old video driver and install the
new Windows 3.1 compatible driver. This can be done through Windows
Setup (see your Windows 3.1 manual for details).
This information applies to Microsoft Visual Basic programming system
version 1.0 for Windows.
More Information:
This problem may result when you install Windows 3.1, as some of the
Windows 3.0 video drivers may not be updated.
Steps to Reproduce Problem
--------------------------
To reproduce the problem, do the following (using a Windows 3.0 video
driver under Windows 3.1):
1. Run Visual Basic, or from the File menu, choose New Project (ALT,
F, N) if Visual Basic is already running. Form1 is created by
default.
2. Add controls to Form1 (such as frame, command button, check box,
and option button).
3. From the File Menu, choose Print.
4. In the Print dialog box, select Current and Form.
5. Choose the OK button to start printing.
6. Note that the frame, command button, and option button are not
printed.
7. Add the following code to the Form1 Click event:
Form1.PrintForm
8. Press F5 to run the program.
9. Click on the form.
10. Note that the frame, command button, and the check box are not
printed.
To overcome this problem, delete the old video driver and install the
new Windows 3.1 compatible driver. You can do this through Windows
Setup (see your Windows 3.1 manual for details).
