Hi
Im trying to print out contents of a panel. I use the Graphics object to
draw what I want to print and the print preview displays everything OK but
when I print the contents the printer prints out blank page?
here is a little description what this class does; I have a Panel that
consists of other panels. Each of the inner panels consists of other
controls that I have to print out. I create an enumerator to print the
panels in reverse order.
here is my code.. most of it I found on the net...
Hopefully someone can help me with this problem.... Im sure this is a minor
problem but I can't figure it out by myself?
