PrintDocumentEventArgs Class

Provides data for the PrintingSystemBase.StartPrint event.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraPrinting

Assembly: DevExpress.Printing.v24.2.Core.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Printing.Core

#Declaration

public class PrintDocumentEventArgs :
    EventArgs

#Remarks

The PrintingSystemBase.StartPrint event is fired before the document returned by the PrintingSystemBase.Document property is printed. A PrintDocumentEventArgs specifies the PrintDocumentEventArgs.PrintDocument value which represents the document being printed, and its properties.

#Example

The following example demonstrates how to use the PrintDocumentEventArgs object when handling the PrintingSystemBase.StartPrint event. The example below demonstrates how to programmatically select a printer to print a document at runtime.

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Drawing.Printing;
using DevExpress.XtraPrinting;
using DevExpress.Utils;
// ...

// creating a PrintingSystem object
private PrintingSystem printingSystem1 = new PrintingSystem();
//...

private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) {
   // handling the StartPrint event
   printingSystem1.StartPrint += new PrintDocumentEventHandler(printingSystem_StartPrint);

   // printing the document
   printingSystem1.Print();
}

private void printingSystem_StartPrint(object sender, PrintDocumentEventArgs e) {
   // setting the specific printer's name before printing
   e.PrintDocument.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters[1];
}
