Gets a value indicating whether the PrinterName property designates the default printer, except when the user explicitly sets PrinterName.
(in System.Drawing.dll)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public ReadOnly Property IsDefaultPrinter As Boolean
Dim instance As PrinterSettings
Dim value As Boolean
value = instance.IsDefaultPrinter
public bool IsDefaultPrinter { get; }
public:
property bool IsDefaultPrinter {
bool get ();
}
public function get IsDefaultPrinter () : boolean
IsDefaultPrinter always returns false when you explicitly set the PrinterName property to a string value other than nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
The following example demonstrates how to use the IsDefaultPrinter property. To run this example, paste the following code into a form and call PopulateInstalledPrintersCombo from the form's constructor or Load event-handling method.
Private WithEvents comboInstalledPrinters As New ComboBox
Private WithEvents printDoc As New PrintDocument
Private Sub PopulateInstalledPrintersCombo()
comboInstalledPrinters.Dock = DockStyle.Top
Controls.Add(comboInstalledPrinters)
' Add list of installed printers found to the combo box.
' The pkInstalledPrinters string will be used to provide the display string.
Dim i As Integer
Dim pkInstalledPrinters As String
For i = 0 To PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters.Count - 1
pkInstalledPrinters = PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters.Item(i)
comboInstalledPrinters.Items.Add(pkInstalledPrinters)
If (printDoc.PrinterSettings.IsDefaultPrinter()) Then
comboInstalledPrinters.Text = printDoc.PrinterSettings.PrinterName
End If
Next
End Sub
private ComboBox comboInstalledPrinters = new ComboBox();
private PrintDocument printDoc = new PrintDocument();
private void PopulateInstalledPrintersCombo()
{
comboInstalledPrinters.Dock = DockStyle.Top;
Controls.Add(comboInstalledPrinters);
// Add list of installed printers found to the combo box.
// The pkInstalledPrinters string will be used to provide the display string.
int i;
string pkInstalledPrinters;
for (i = 0; i < PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters.Count; i++)
{
pkInstalledPrinters = PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters[i];
comboInstalledPrinters.Items.Add(pkInstalledPrinters);
if (printDoc.PrinterSettings.IsDefaultPrinter)
{
comboInstalledPrinters.Text = printDoc.PrinterSettings.PrinterName;
}
}
}
