PlotAreaColor has no effect when printing

[Dan C]

I currently have a ScatterGraph with a PlotAreaColor of White and a BackColor of Gray.  It looks correct on the form, but when I print the ScatterGraph using the Draw function, the Plot Area is Gray not White.

It appears that the PlotAreaColor is transparent, because when I change the BackColor, the Plot Area follows this.

I am using VS 2005.  Is this a known issue?  Is there a work around?

Can you try using the printing example under C:\Program Files\National Instruments\MeasurementStudioVS2003\DotNET\Examples\UI\Graph\Printing to reproduce it?

I was unable to see the same problem in VS 2003 and 2005 using Measurement Studio 8.0. I'm assuming you are using the .NET Scattergraph.

It turns out that the problems is occurring when I use a third party PrintForm control (derived from PrintDocument).  When I print directy to the PrintDocument control, the Scatter Graph prints correctly.  The only work around that I found was to use the DrawtoBitmap method instead.

Thanks
