Visual Basic Miscellaneous Printing

Let's amend the computer program "model" which I gave in the tutorial section on file handling. A computer program basically consists of a user who enters data, a file in which the data (or calculated results) are stored, and a paper copy of the data. The printed copy is usually formatted in such a way as to allow the user to make sense of the data. The point of this short essay is that most users expect to be able to get a hard copy (meaning a paper copy) of their data. They want it stored, but they also want to be able to take the results away from the computer for subsequent review. Hence - printing! An important fact is that how well the data is presented to the user can make or break the success of the application. Learning to use the printing tools of VB is critical to your success as a programmer.

For those of you who remember BASIC printing, the news with Visual Basic is both (mostly) good and (not much) bad. With BASIC and before the advent of the proportional fonts of Windows it was easier to figure out where your print statements were going to put the output. Since every character took up the same width, you only had to count positions (80 per line) as part of figuring out how to code print statements.

The bad news with DOS BASIC was that you had to print one line at a time. You couldn't print line 40, then go back to line 10. The really good news is that in Visual Basic, an object known as the printer is available to you.
