Examples

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.

C#

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

    // 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.
    PageSetupDialog1.ShowNetwork = false;

    //Show the dialog storing the result.
    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)
    {
        object[] results = new object[]{ 
            PageSetupDialog1.PageSettings.Margins, 
            PageSetupDialog1.PageSettings.PaperSize, 
            PageSetupDialog1.PageSettings.Landscape, 
            PageSetupDialog1.PrinterSettings.PrinterName, 
            PageSetupDialog1.PrinterSettings.PrintRange};
        ListBox1.Items.AddRange(results);
    }
}
