"but error is showing in offset"
What error, what is "offset", what is its value?

e.Graphics.DrawString(lvProductItems.Items[i].SubItems[1].Text, new Font("Cambria", 9, FontStyle.Bold), Brushes.Black, new Point(400, 215 ));
e.Graphics.DrawString(lvProductItems.Items[i].SubItems[2].Text, new Font("Cambria", 8, FontStyle.Regular), Brushes.Black, new Point(15, 230 ));
e.Graphics.DrawString(lvProductItems.Items[i].SubItems[3].Text, new Font("Cambria", 9, FontStyle.Bold), Brushes.Black, new Point(550, 215 ));

There is no point in repeatedly posting the same few lines of code without explaining what is wrong.

OriginalGriff 23-Jun-23 9:47am

His loop prints all it's data at a fixed point: overwriting the previous line(s).
And there is loads of other stuff wrong with that code ...

Richard MacCutchan 23-Jun-23 10:09am

Yes, I guessed that, but I was hoping (in vain mainly) that he would come back with a proper explanation.

i want to print more than 1 column in listview. how to print all column. i use the above given code to print all column, but it,s print in single line. 2nd and other column is not change the line when i print the page.

Richard MacCutchan 23-Jun-23 10:16am

Look at your X and Y values in your calls to e.Graphics.DrawString for the lvProductItems.Items in your loop: they are all printed at the exact same point. You need to increase the Y value each time to move to the next line on the invoice form.

Solution 2

You are presumably running that code in a loop: if not then it';s not clear what i is doing.
And if you run that code in a loop, you need to change the Point at which you print text to increment in the Y direction each time you go round.

If you don't, then depending on what canvas you are drawing onto and how that is implemented, you may only see the final set of outputs, or you may get it all printed on top of the previous data.

I did. Read what I said again, and then look at the content of your loop ...

And why the heck are you printing "solid lines" with text? You do realise that the Graphics class includes methods other than DrawString, don't you? You want to print lines (solid or dashed) use DrawLine or DrawRectangle, or ... loads of options.

OriginalGriff 23-Jun-23 9:53am

There isn't a single line in that code that would pass a code review: from magic numbers to memory leaks, that it doesn't do what you want is the least of your problems.
When you create any graphics object, it is your responsibility to Dispose of it when you are finished as there is a very limited supply of the Handles that Windows relies upon to process them: you don't do that, you create a new Font instance each time you want to draw. Create all the fonts you will need when your app starts (make them static in your class) and re-use them over and over. That way, you only use a small number of Handles which will be automatically released when the app ends.

Your app as it stands will quickly throw an "out of memory" exception of windows will become unstable as you will use up the supply of handles long before the system needs to call in the garbage collector.
