How to: Create and Display a PrintDialog

This example demonstrates how to show a PrintDialog box.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to show a print dialog by:

• Instantiating PrintDialog.

• Configuring page-range selection options by setting the PageRangeSelection and UserPageRangeEnabled properties.

• Showing the print dialog by calling the ShowDialog method.

<Button Width="200" Click="InvokePrint">Invoke PrintDialog</Button>

...

private void InvokePrint(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        // Create the print dialog object and set options
        PrintDialog pDialog = new PrintDialog();
        pDialog.PageRangeSelection = PageRangeSelection.AllPages;
        pDialog.UserPageRangeEnabled = true;

        // Display the dialog. This returns true if the user presses the Print button.
        Nullable<Boolean> print = pDialog.ShowDialog();
        if (print == true)
        {
            XpsDocument xpsDocument = new XpsDocument("C:\\FixedDocumentSequence.xps", FileAccess.ReadWrite);
            FixedDocumentSequence fixedDocSeq = xpsDocument.GetFixedDocumentSequence();
            pDialog.PrintDocument(fixedDocSeq.DocumentPaginator, "Test print job");
        }
    }
