Show Print Dialog before printing
c#, printdialog
Solution
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");
}
Edited(from Comment)
On `64-bit` Windows and with some versions of .NET you may have to set `pdi.UseExDialog = true`; for the dialog window to appear.
Problem
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?
