Examples

The following example shows how to create an instance of and display a simple PrintDialog by using Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) markup and code.

<Button Width="200" Click="InvokePrint">Invoke PrintDialog</Button>

...

private void InvokePrint(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        // Create the print dialog object and set options
        PrintDialog pDialog = new PrintDialog();
        pDialog.PageRangeSelection = PageRangeSelection.AllPages;
        pDialog.UserPageRangeEnabled = true;

        // Display the dialog. This returns true if the user presses the Print button.
        Nullable<Boolean> print = pDialog.ShowDialog();
        if (print == true)
        {
            XpsDocument xpsDocument = new XpsDocument("C:\\FixedDocumentSequence.xps", FileAccess.ReadWrite);
            FixedDocumentSequence fixedDocSeq = xpsDocument.GetFixedDocumentSequence();
            pDialog.PrintDocument(fixedDocSeq.DocumentPaginator, "Test print job");
        }
    }

Private Sub InvokePrint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs)
        ' Create the print dialog object and set options
        Dim pDialog As New PrintDialog()
        pDialog.PageRangeSelection = PageRangeSelection.AllPages
        pDialog.UserPageRangeEnabled = True

        ' Display the dialog. This returns true if the user presses the Print button.
        Dim print? As Boolean = pDialog.ShowDialog()
        If print = True Then
            Dim xpsDocument As New XpsDocument("C:\FixedDocumentSequence.xps", FileAccess.ReadWrite)
            Dim fixedDocSeq As FixedDocumentSequence = xpsDocument.GetFixedDocumentSequence()
            pDialog.PrintDocument(fixedDocSeq.DocumentPaginator, "Test print job")
        End If
End Sub

Remarks

A user can use the Print dialog box to select a printer, configure it, and perform a print job.

Strictly speaking, you can use the PrintDocument method without ever opening the dialog. In that sense, the control can be used as an unseen printing component. But for performance reasons, it would be better to use either the AddJob method or one of the many Write and WriteAsync methods of the XpsDocumentWriter. For more about this, see How to: Programmatically Print XPS Files.

Do not confuse this class, System.Windows.Controls.PrintDialog, with System.Windows.Forms.PrintDialog. The latter is used with Windows Forms applications. System.Windows.Controls.PrintDialog is used with Windows Presentation Foundation applications.
