PrintDialog Class
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in system.windows.forms.dll)
When you create an instance of PrintDialog, the read/write properties are set to initial values. For a list of these values, see the PrintDialog constructor.

| This class may not work on AMD64 processors unless you set the UseEXDialog property to true. |
The following code example demonstrates how to use the PrintDialog control to set the AllowSomePages, ShowHelp, and Document properties. To run this example, paste the following code into a form containing a PrintDialog control named PrintDialog1 and a button named Button1. This example assumes the button's Click event and the PrintPage event of docToPrint have been connected to the event-handling methods defined in this example.
' Declare the PrintDocument object. Private WithEvents docToPrint As New Printing.PrintDocument ' This method will set properties on the PrintDialog object and ' then display the dialog. Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _ ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click ' Allow the user to choose the page range he or she would ' like to print. PrintDialog1.AllowSomePages = True ' Show the help button. PrintDialog1.ShowHelp = True ' Set the Document property to the PrintDocument for ' which the PrintPage Event has been handled. To display the ' dialog, either this property or the PrinterSettings property ' must be set PrintDialog1.Document = docToPrint Dim result As DialogResult = PrintDialog1.ShowDialog() ' If the result is OK then print the document. If (result = DialogResult.OK) Then docToPrint.Print() End If End Sub ' The PrintDialog will print the document ' by handling the document's PrintPage event. Private Sub document_PrintPage(ByVal sender As Object, _ ByVal e As System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs) _ Handles docToPrint.PrintPage ' Insert code to render the page here. ' This code will be called when the control is drawn. ' The following code will render a simple ' message on the printed document. Dim text As String = "In document_PrintPage method." Dim printFont As New System.Drawing.Font _ ("Arial", 35, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Regular) ' Draw the content. e.Graphics.DrawString(text, printFont, _ System.Drawing.Brushes.Black, 10, 10) End Sub
// Declare the PrintDocument object.
private System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument docToPrint =
new System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument();
// This method will set properties on the PrintDialog object and
// then display the dialog.
private void button1_Click(Object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
// Allow the user to choose the page range he or she would
// like to print.
printDialog1.set_AllowSomePages(true);
// Show the help button.
printDialog1.set_ShowHelp(true);
// Set the Document property to the PrintDocument for
// which the PrintPage Event has been handled. To display the
// dialog, either this property or the PrinterSettings property
// must be set
printDialog1.set_Document(docToPrint);
DialogResult result = printDialog1.ShowDialog();
// If the result is OK then print the document.
if (result.Equals(DialogResult.OK)) {
docToPrint.Print();
}
} //button1_Click
// The PrintDialog will print the document
// by handling the document's PrintPage event.
private void Document_PrintPage(Object sender,
System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs e)
{
// Insert code to render the page here.
// This code will be called when the control is drawn.
// The following code will render a simple
// message on the printed document.
String text = "In Document_PrintPage method.";
System.Drawing.Font printFont =
new System.Drawing.Font("Arial", 35,
System.Drawing.FontStyle.Regular);
// Draw the content.
e.get_Graphics().DrawString(text, printFont,
System.Drawing.Brushes.get_Black(), 10, 10);
} //Document_PrintPage
