The controls on the hard copy still have their edges.

Dear sir:
I had try your method, but it can't work. I used CVI5.0.When I print out the whole panel,each control which has label on the panel,such as textbox,textmessage,ring,etc,is showed with its edge.But I don't want those edges, then what should I do?

Hello MerryMay,
Here are some ideas to try:
1) When you are in the UIR Editor, click on the paint brush, then right-click on the control labels and click the "T" in the bottom-left corner of the color selection palette. This sets the background of the labels to transparent so that the panel color should show through and no border should be observable. This is a clarification of the previous response available at:

2) Contact your printer vendor (their website is often a welcome resource) and obtain/install the latest version of the driver for your printer.
3) Double-click on the panel, then click Other Attributes.. >> Conform To Sys
tem Colors.
4) Before calling PrintPanel() in your code, call "SetPrintAttribute (ATTR_BITMAP_PRINTING, 1);" to test bitmap printing.
