PageSetupDialog Class

The PageSetupDialog dialog box modifies the PageSettings and PrinterSettings information for a given Document. The user can enable sections of the dialog box to manipulate printing and margins; paper orientation, size, and source; and to show Help and network buttons. The MinMargins property defines the minimum margins a user can select.

When you create an instance of the PageSetupDialog class, the read/write properties are set to initial values. For a list of these values, see the PageSetupDialog constructor.

Because a PageSetupDialog needs page settings to display, you need to set the Document, PrinterSettings, or PageSettings property before calling ShowDialog; otherwise, an exception will occur.

The following code example demonstrates the PageSetupDialog using the PageSettings, PrinterSettings, and ShowNetwork properties. To run this example, place it in a form containing a Button named Button1, a ListBox named ListBox1, and a PageSetupDialog named PageSetupDialog1. Ensure the button's click event is connected to the event-handling method in this example.

//This method displays a PageSetupDialog object. If the 
// user clicks OK in the dialog, selected results of 
// the dialog are displayed in ListBox1. 
void Button1_Click( System::Object^ /*sender*/, System::EventArgs^ /*e*/ )
{

   // Initialize the dialog's PrinterSettings property to hold user 
   // defined printer settings.
   PageSetupDialog1->PageSettings = gcnew System::Drawing::Printing::PageSettings;

   // Initialize dialog's PrinterSettings property to hold user 
   // set printer settings.
   PageSetupDialog1->PrinterSettings = gcnew System::Drawing::Printing::PrinterSettings;

   //Do not show the network in the printer dialog.
   PageSetupDialog1->ShowNetwork = false;

   //Show the dialog storing the result.
   System::Windows::Forms::DialogResult result = PageSetupDialog1->ShowDialog();

   // If the result is OK, display selected settings in 
   // ListBox1. These values can be used when printing the 
   // document. 
   if ( result == ::DialogResult::OK )
   {
      array<Object^>^results = {PageSetupDialog1->PageSettings->Margins,PageSetupDialog1->PageSettings->PaperSize,PageSetupDialog1->PageSettings->Landscape,PageSetupDialog1->PrinterSettings->PrinterName,PageSetupDialog1->PrinterSettings->PrintRange};
      ListBox1->Items->AddRange( results );
   }

}
