I want to show the print dialog box before printing the document, so the user can choose another printer before printing. The code for printing is:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
PrintDocument pd = new PrintDocument();
pd.PrintPage += new PrintPageEventHandler(PrintImage);
pd.Print();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, ToString());
}
}
void PrintImage(object o, PrintPageEventArgs e)
{
int x = SystemInformation.WorkingArea.X;
int y = SystemInformation.WorkingArea.Y;
int width = this.Width;
int height = this.Height;
Rectangle bounds = new Rectangle(x, y, width, height);
Bitmap img = new Bitmap(width, height);
this.DrawToBitmap(img, bounds);
Point p = new Point(100, 100);
e.Graphics.DrawImage(img, p);
}
will this code be able to print the current form?
You have to use PrintDialog
PrintDocument pd = new PrintDocument();
pd.PrintPage += new PrintPageEventHandler(PrintPage);
PrintDialog pdi = new PrintDialog();
pdi.Document = pd;
if (pdi.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
pd.Print();
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("Print Cancelled");
}

On 64-bit
Windows and with some versions of .NET you may have to set pdi.UseExDialog = true
; for the dialog window to appear.
