integrating a VB.NET application with RightFax

[Chris Gagne]

I am working on integrating a VB.NET application with RightFax. We are
actually converting a program written in Cincom SmallTalk to VB.NET and we
are experiencing some problems with faxing. In the SmallTalk version of our
application we used RightFax's embedded codes to fax. We just printed the
print job to the RightFax printer and included the embedded codes in the
print job. The embedded codes are what tells RightFax where to fax to.

The problem is that VB.NET does not allow you to print in a Native Font
(such as Courier). I believe this is because the GDI+ only recognizes true
type fonts. Is there anyway to print in Courier in VB.NET?

Thomas,

Thanks for the response. I have experimented with this, however there is a
problem with implementing this method of printing to RightFax. The VB.NET
application I am working with prints reports for physicians. There reports
contain text and images. They are very customizable (the users can change
they type of text and where each "section" of text is printed on the
report). So, therefore I would need a way to print these RightFax embedded
codes in the same print job as these reports for the physicians, otherwise
the actual report won't get printed.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Chris
