Dear Team,
I have a printdocument page in printpreview dialog and which is a mdi child form in vb.net.
when i close the mdiform(mdiparent) every time it is calling the printdocuments beginprint/printpage event again and every time the mdi close method is called,can we stop doing this behavior.

in printdocument constructor i passed the Mdi_Form
on menu click in mdi form i called the constructor and constructor code is below
Dim PrintDialog1 as new PrintPreviewDialog
PrintDialog1.Document = PrintDocument 'PrintDialog associate with PrintDocument.
PrintDialog1.mdiparent=mdiform
PrintDialog1.Show()

and all the required codes for printing is in
Print_Doc----Begin_print and Print_Page event

its working fine but when i closed the mdi form it again call only these events
Print_Doc----Begin_print and Print_Page event
Thanks

Here is the idea: who needs MDI, ever? Why torturing yourself and scaring off your users?
Do yourself a great favor: do not use MDI at all. You can do much easier to implement design without it, with much better quality. MDI is highly discouraged even by Microsoft, in fact, Microsoft dropped it out of WPF and will hardly support it. More importantly, you will scare off all your users if you use MDI. Just don't. Please see:

I can explain what to do instead. Please see my past answers:
