PrinterExEvents object

Auxiliary object used to receive events from a IPrinterEx object.

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Set mPrinterExEvents = PrintPreview.Events

Private Sub mPrinterExEvents_ReportPrinted()
    MsgBox "Print done!"
End Sub


This is only the code for handling the events, for a working sample add a PrintPreview control and a CommandButton to a form and paste this code:

Private WithEvents mPrinterExEvents As PrinterExEvents

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    PrintPreview1.ShowPreview
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Set mPrinterExEvents = PrintPreview.Events
End Sub

Private Sub mPrinterExEvents_ReportPrinted()
    MsgBox "Print done!"
End Sub

Private Sub PrintPreview1_PrepareReport(Cancel As Boolean)
    Printer.Print "Hello world."
End Sub


Sample usage in a Class module:

Private WithEvents mPrinterExEvents As PrinterExEvents

Private Sub Class_Initialize()
    Set mPrinterExEvents = PrintPreview.Events
End Sub

Private Sub mPrinterExEvents_ReportPrinted()
    MsgBox "Print done!"
End Sub


This is only the code for handling the events, for a working sample add this code to a Class module:

Private WithEvents mPrinterExEvents As PrinterExEvents

Private Sub Class_Initialize()
    Set mPrinterExEvents = PrintPreview.Events
End Sub

Public Sub PrintPreviewMyReport() ' This is the method that will be called to show the print preview dialog with the report
    PrintPreview.ShowPreview

Private Sub mPrinterExEvents_ReportPrinted()
