 Hi,

I'm trying faxman fax printer under windows 7.

I'm using Visual Studio 2008 and VB.net.

After the faxprinter is correctly installed using  faxinstall.bat, I make a very simple form with only the FaxPrint component who catch the PrintComplete event and show a textbox. If I lounch this form it works.

Now I add to my very simple form a lot of other components (like buttons, panels, labels etc.). 

If I print from an application (MS Word for example) to my fax printer, the event is not catched by my application and the text box don't show.

Any suggestions?

thanks so much,

Francesco Cartella

I forget to say that when I print from Word to fax printer my application is closed.

I setted the "Application Path", under the Fax Settings tab of printer properties to the path and executable file of my application.

Thanks again,

Francesco Cartella

Hi, Does it work OK if your application is already started and running ?

Is the printer control created on a form that loads when the app starts up ? If not it needs to be.

 Hi,

Notice that my application have only one form. The printer control is then created on this form that loads when the app starts up.

If my form dosn't contains any controls it works in each case (both if the app is already started and if the app is closed and then opened by printer) and the event is catched poperly.

If my form contains some controls (like text box and panels)  it works only if my app is already started and running. (Notice that I used both standard controls and Infragistics net Advantage controls, like ultratexteditor). If my app is closed, the printer can open it, but it seems that PrintComplete event don't fire.

Thank you for support,
