mainform.cs

Some time during my development works I had the need of printing the contents of a ListView control.

using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Collections;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Data;

namespace TestPritableListView
{

	/// Summary description for Form1.

	public class MainForm : System.Windows.Forms.Form
	{
		private PrintableListView.PrintableListView m_list;
		private System.Windows.Forms.Button m_btnPrintPreview;
		private System.Windows.Forms.Button m_btnPrint;
		private System.Windows.Forms.Button m_btnPageSetup;
		private System.Windows.Forms.Button m_btnExit;
		private System.Windows.Forms.CheckBox m_cbFitToPage;
		/// <summary>
		/// Required designer variable.
		/// </summary>
		private System.ComponentModel.Container components = null;

		public MainForm()
		{
			//
			// Required for Windows Form Designer support
			//
			InitializeComponent();

			//
			// TODO: Add any constructor code after InitializeComponent call
			//
		}

		/// <summary>

				}
			}
			base.Dispose( disposing );
		}
