When you create an instance of the PrintPreviewControl class, some of the read/write properties are set to initial values. For a list of these values, see the PrintPreviewControl constructor.
The following code example demonstrates the Document, UseAntiAlias, and Zoom properties of the PrintPreviewControl. To run this example, place the following code in a form and call the InitializePrintPreviewControl method from the form’s constructor or Load event-handling method.
'Declare the PrintPreviewControl object and the PrintDocument object.
