Need help with printDialog

[Smurf]

I am currently busy with an application that should print graphics. The application has a printpreveiw, that uses the printpreviewdialog and works perfectly, and a print, which uses a printdialog. This is where my trouble starts.

After starting the application, if i show the printdialog first, the dialog comes up, but all the labels and button labels are empty. This continues until i show the printpreviewdialog. After that, my printdialog displays fine.

Problem with printDialog

Hi. Here is the code that shows the ppdb and the pdb. It is called during a menu call.

Private Sub mnuPrint_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles mnuPrint.Click
Dim result As Integer
cnt.clear() // Just a counter object I use
printDialog.Document = print
result = printDialog.ShowDialog()
If result = DialogResult.OK Then
print.Print()
End If
End Sub

Private Sub mnuPrintPreview_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles mnuPrintPreview.Click
cnt.clear() // Just a counter object I use
printPreviewDialog.Document = print
printPreviewDialog.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
printPreviewDialog.ShowDialog()
End Sub

An image of the printDialog as it shows incorrectly is also attached. Please take a look at it.

The printDialog functions properly, but the labels is missing. If you click on the properties button or the cancel button, everything works fine.

I need help urgently. My deadline is due on Tuesday. I'll apperciate any help or suggestions i can get.

Thanx

Wow it never happened to me ... really odd.
Well, let's try if the app that works flawless here will work there too. That's how we gonna know is it because of your code or something else.

I downloaded example code that did the same thing. So it might be something other than my code

I tried the example you posted. It doesnt work either. The page setup dialog is also without labels.

So, whats wrong. Can you give me any ideas, plz.

Well, as i said i've never met the problem like this before and i'm afraid you should wait for someone able to provide some tips about this (maybe someone who already experienced this kind of problem) Sorry
