PrintManager.ShowPrintUIAsync | showPrintUIAsync method

Programattically initiates the user interface for printing content.

Syntax

Windows.Graphics.Printing.PrintManager.showPrintUIAsync().done( /* Your success and error handlers */ );

Parameters

This method has no parameters.

Return value

Type: IAsyncOperation<Boolean>

A Boolean value to indicate a TRUE for success or a FALSE for a failure.

Remarks

ShowPrintUIAsync is an asynchronous method and it is responsible for making your Windows Store app display the appropriate print window. Here is a JavaScript code snippet to show how it is used to display a print window:

    // Function to process the print button click
    function printButtonClick() {
         Windows.Graphics.Printing.PrintManager.showPrintUIAsync();
    }

In the preceeding snippet, a print window is displayed in the event handler for a button click. So the user sees a print window in response to their button click. To see complete listings for more printing scenarios using ShowPrintUIAsync, see Printing.
