Printing the entire UserControl - as is..

[Raj]

Hi,

In my windows application, I have a form and I placed an UserControl on
the form. I placed lot of edit controls on the UserControl.

Is there a way to print the entire UserControl just as it appears on
screen? This is something similar to Print Screen functionality, which
captures the whole screen as an image. But I want to capture just part
of the screen, which is usercontrol. If the usercontrol has scrollbars,
I want to include the hidden portion as well in the print
functionality.

Basically, I want to have a button on the form with a caption "Print
Page", that should capture the entire UserControl as an image including
any hidden scrollbar region and send it to the printer.

Is this possible? Any ideas..

Thanks,
Raj

Use interop and the PrintWindow API.
