PageSetupDialog Class
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in system.windows.forms.dll)
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. Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _ ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click ' Initialize the dialog's PrinterSettings property to hold user ' defined printer settings. PageSetupDialog1.PageSettings = _ New System.Drawing.Printing.PageSettings ' Initialize dialog's PrinterSettings property to hold user ' set printer settings. PageSetupDialog1.PrinterSettings = _ New System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings 'Do not show the network in the printer dialog.
