All subscription events of the printdocument instance are as follows:
1. Create a printdocument instance as follows:
System. Drawing. Printing. printdocument doctoprint =
New system. Drawing. Printing. printdocument ();
2. Set the event processing function for the printer to start printing. The original function is as follows:
Void doctoprint_printpage (Object sender,
System. Drawing. Printing. printpageeventargs E)
3. Add the event handler function to the printpage event of printdocument.
Doctoprint. printpage + = new printpageeventhandler (doctoprint_printpage );
4. Set attributes of printdocument, such:
Printdialog1.allowsomepages = true; printdialog1.showhelp = true;
5. Set the document attribute of printdialog to the configured printdocument instance:
Printdialog1.document = doctoprint;
6. Call the showdialog function of printdialog to display the Print dialog box:
Dialogresult result = printdialog1.showdialog ();
7. Start printing based on the user's choice:
If (result = dialogresult. OK)
{
Doctoprint. Print ();
}
8. Print the preview control printpreviewdialog
Example:
Create a printservice instance and call the void startprint (Stream streamtoprint, string streamtype) function to start printing. Streamtoprint indicates the content to be printed (byte stream), streamtype indicates the stream type (txt indicates normal text, and image indicates image );
Public partial class printtxt {private printpreviewdialog printpreview = new printpreviewdialog (); Private string streamtype; private image = NULL; private stream streamtoprint = NULL; font mainfont = new font (" ", 12); // print the Public String filename = NULL; // 1. instantiate the printed document printdocument pddocument = new printdocument (); Private string [] lines; private int linesprinted; public printtxt (string fil Epath, string filetype) {filename = path. getfilenamewithoutextension (filepath); // subscribe to the beginprint event pddocument. beginprint + = new printeventhandler (pddocument_beginprint); // release the resource pddocument. printpage + = new printpageeventhandler (onprintpage); // subscribes to the print event.
