Hello,
I asked this question, found the answer myself, and figured I’d post it here just in case it would be of use to someone else.
—–Original Question—–
I am trying to print a relatively simple grid, and then put text in the cells (numeric, Arial, Bold, size 26). It works perfectly in a picture box control, but when I use the printer object the characters have an opaque white border that erases part of the underlying grid (and portions of neighboring characters).
Drawing thegrid last doesn’t help, because it erases all the text underneath it. So, how do I make the white space around the font transparent? Printer.FontTransparent = True doesn’t do it.
—–Solution (yes, it works … tested it)—–
