I am trying to use Printdocument to print the content of my Listview1. The first column is an image 16x16. The code recognize the .ImageIndex but the "Icon" column (first column) stays empty.
Code:
Private Sub PrintDetails(ByRef e As System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs)
If ListView1.Visible = True Then
Static LastIndex As Integer = 0
Static CurrentPage As Integer = 0
'Getting the current dpi so the textleftpad
'will be the same on a different dpi than
'the 96 i'm using. Won't make much of a difference though.
Dim DpiGraphics As Graphics = Me.CreateGraphics
Dim DpiX As Integer = DpiGraphics.DpiX
Dim DpiY As Integer = DpiGraphics.DpiY
DpiGraphics.Dispose()
Dim X, Y As Integer
Dim ImageWidth As Integer
Dim TextRect As Rectangle = Rectangle.Empty
Dim TextLeftPad As Single = CSng(4 * (DpiX / 96)) '4 pixel pad on the left.
Dim ColumnHeaderHeight As Single = CSng(ListView1.Font.Height + (10 * (DpiX / 96))) '5 pixel pad on the top an bottom
Dim StringFormat As New StringFormat
Dim PageNumberWidth As Single = e.Graphics.MeasureString(CStr(CurrentPage), ListView1.Font).Width
'Specify the text should be drawn in the center of the line and
'that the text should not be wrapped and the text should show
'ellipsis would cut off.
StringFormat.FormatFlags = StringFormatFlags.NoWrap
StringFormat.Trimming = StringTrimming.EllipsisCharacter
StringFormat.LineAlignment = StringAlignment.Center
CurrentPage += 1
'Start the x and y at the top left margin.
X = CInt(e.MarginBounds.X)
Y = CInt(e.MarginBounds.Y)
'Draw the column headers
For ColumnIndex As Integer = 0 To ListView1.Columns.Count - 1
TextRect.X = X
TextRect.Y = Y

TextRect.Height = ColumnHeaderHeight
e.Graphics.FillRectangle(Brushes.LightGray, TextRect)
e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(Pens.DarkGray, TextRect)
'TextLeftPad adds a little padding from the gridline. Add it to the left and subtract it from the right.
TextRect.X += TextLeftPad
TextRect.Width -= TextLeftPad
