surpressing the "Printing page 1 of Document" message

I am using vb.net. and sql server 2005 reporting services. But the report in question uses the local report functionality.

I am writing a credit card processor that prints a slip at the end of the transaction. There is an annoying message form that pops up on the screen stating that it is "Printing Page 1 of Document" . It seems to be beyond my reach. Its position is the typical windows auto positioning (ala cascade). I dont want the user to see it.

How do i surpress this printing message Is it embedded in the printer driver or spooler services Is it surpressable from the reporting services local report configuration

Thanx

    JerryCic,

    Are you writing the printing message in VB.NET Do you mean you want to make sure whether you can surpress the reporting services into local report configuration I am afraid that I cannot understand your meaning exactly.

    Could you just give me your sub in VB.NET or tell me the problem in your program Waiting for your reply.

    What about when using the Printer Compatibility Library Is there some way of supressing the print message when using that, and not using the PrintDocument

    JerryCic,

    Sorry to reply you for quite a long time because I am in charge of the posts during two to seven days. Could you tell me how is your pproject going and what about your problem now

    In your description, there is a strange message box shows the process of printing. I don't think it is difficult for you to eliminate this MsgBox. What about your printing function now Is there still some problem

    Waiting for your reply.

    PrintDocument1.PrintController = New System.Drawing.Printing.StandardPrintController()

    ppd.Document = PrintDocument1

    PrintDocument1.Print()

    ' As opposed to the PrintControllerWithStatusDialog

    Hi!

    Thank you for your responce.

    I create a form and drop a button and a printer document on it. when i click on the button, the following code is executed.


    Public Class Form1

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

    Me.PrintDocument1.Print()

    End Sub

    Private Sub PrintDocument1_PrintPage(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs) Handles PrintDocument1.PrintPage

    e.Graphics.DrawString("This is a test", Me.Font, Brushes.Black, 5, 5)

    e.HasMorePages = False

    End Sub

    End Class

    The result is that the document prints. this is good. But in the process, a message box titled "Printing" displays indicating that the document is printing. I wish to not show that message.

    Here is a screenshot of the undesirable message.

    Yes I still have the problem. This is not a strange message box, It is quite normal. i just dont want to see it.

    If you read my second post above and either try it or click on the link to the screen shot. You will see the box i am trying to get ridd of.

    Thanx
