Good day,
I have a tiff img (img is including pic and text )
Tiff is bigger than 1print page, so I assuming when I call framecount should put 2 pages, but not, always show 1p Page is not completed it showes2/3 1/3 it should go to other page but doesn't show. Sorry I read most of codes what people wrote, but they are not working for me.
If somebody can help will be greatefull
Regards
Drago

Framecount? On what? The image? It'll always be 1 since it know nothing of the printer that is going to print the image.
The rest of your post is unintelligible. You're going to have to provide quite a bit more detail to your question to get a clear answer.

Tif img
I would like to print that image by calling print preview
Image is larger than one print page.
I cannot get another (second) page where it should be rest of that img.
I'm using
Img.framecount(framedimension .page) where count is always 1, but should be 2.
(To divide 1 tiff img to 2 print pages)
Thanks

That method does not return the amount of pages that the image is printed on; it returns the amount of frames[^] (total images in an animation) in there.
If you want to know how many pages are needed to print something, then you'd have to create a print-preview using the printer-driver.

Again, FrameCount should return 1, unless this is a multiframe, "animated" image. The image knows NOTHING about what you're displaying the image on or printing it on. How could it possibly know??
If you need to print the entire image on multiple pages, YOU have to write the code that breaks the image up into multiple images and figures out exactly what dimensions each sub-image has to be based on the printable area of the selected printer page.

Thanks Dave, Eddy
Do you have any ideas how I can do that...

I thought I seen an example up here before But I will be dang if I can find it now.
I have a panel control which has geometry created on it from a third party dll. What I would like to do is that and create an image (preferably with transparent background) of what the user is seeing on that screen.
can anyone point me in the right direction?
Oh I guess I should mention that I am using VS2013 vb.net
Thanks

A panel is a control, and those can be drawn to a bitmap. See MSDN[^]

Thanks for the advice but that does not create a transparent bitmap and in most cases will not work if the actual drawing to the panel is done through a 3rd party dll.
I think what I really need is more of a screen capture of the panel and then convert its size and transparentcy

I found this bit of code to work with 2 exceptions. 1) how to re-size it to a smaller image (So I can display a thumbnail type image and 2) how to make the background transparent.
I want item 2 because the image is displayed in a panel control with a black background. That is what the user needs to see. But when I create the image I do not want the black background
Private Sub my_capture(ctrl As Control, fileName As String)
Dim bounds As Rectangle = ctrl.Bounds
Dim pt As Point = ctrl.PointToScreen(bounds.Location)
Dim bitmap As New Bitmap(bounds.Width, bounds.Height)
Using g As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(bitmap)
g.CopyFromScreen(New Point(pt.X - ctrl.Location.X, pt.Y - ctrl.Location.Y), Point.Empty, bounds.Size)
End Using
bitmap.Save(fileName, ImageFormat.Png)
End Sub

You'd have to specify which color should become transparent[^].

I changed my code to this:
But it had no effect. I still get the image with a black background.
I am not sure how to include images with the reply otherwise I would show you before and after images
Dim bounds As Rectangle = ctrl.Bounds
Dim pt As Point = ctrl.PointToScreen(bounds.Location)
Dim myBitmap As New Bitmap(bounds.Width, bounds.Height)
myBitmap.MakeTransparent(ctrl.BackColor)
Using m_g As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(myBitmap)
m_g.CopyFromScreen(New Point(pt.X - ctrl.Location.X, pt.Y - ctrl.Location.Y), Point.Empty, bounds.Size)
m_g.Dispose()
End Using
myBitmap.Save(fileName, ImageFormat.Png)
myBitmap.Dispose()

I am not sure what all the printing code has to do with my question. Maybe you just pasted it in to the wrong question. Am I missing something?

That's the good answer, but to the wrong question

Set the transparency AFTER you capture the screen.

yep that is what the issue was. Setting it after did the trick.
Now that I have that working(thanks to you) and I see the results, I think I need to save the image as B/W or greyScale.
Is that difficult?

Not very hard, but I reckon it will need to remain a 32bit argb format for transparency to work.
There's a howto[^] on MSDN

Hmmm that use the Imaging class
I have seen that used in medical applications I believe,
Maybe I will try a different approach. You would think that Microsoft would of made saving an image a whole lot easier wouln't you?

I am using the this sub and on the following line of code I get an error
pixColor = myBitmap.GetPixel(x, y)
the error states "An unhandled exception of type 'System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException' occurred in System.Drawing.dll
Additional information: Parameter must be positive and < Width."
Would anyone know why?
Private Sub my_capture(ctrl As Control, fileName As String)
Dim bounds As Rectangle = ctrl.Bounds
Dim pt As Point = ctrl.PointToScreen(bounds.Location)
Dim myBitmap As New Bitmap(bounds.Width, bounds.Height)
Dim BW_Bitmap As New Bitmap(bounds.Width, bounds.Height)
Dim x As Integer
Dim y As Integer
Dim pixColor As Color
Dim luma As Integer
Using m_g As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(myBitmap)
m_g.CopyFromScreen(New Point(pt.X - ctrl.Location.X, pt.Y - ctrl.Location.Y), Point.Empty, bounds.Size)
m_g.Dispose()
End Using
For y = 0 To BW_Bitmap.Height
For x = 0 To BW_Bitmap.Width
pixColor = myBitmap.GetPixel(x, y)
luma = CInt(pixColor.R * 0.3 + pixColor.G * 0.59 + pixColor.B * 0.11)
BW_Bitmap.SetPixel(x, y, Color.FromArgb(luma, luma, luma))
Next
Next
BW_Bitmap.Save(fileName, ImageFormat.Png)
BW_Bitmap.Dispose()
myBitmap.Dispose()
End Sub

..from 0 to 640, is 641 steps, not 640. That's one more step than there is pixels, causing it to go out of range.
