Print without seeing the print dialogue box first
I currently have a C# application (a touchscreen app), and after collecting
some data from the user and other sources, the user can press a button labeled print, just a regular old button. I have a print class set up such that it'll print the stuff in the textboxes to the printer, but when you press the button, it just brings up the print dialogue box...you select the printer, and press ok. The thing is, i want to skip that step, and just automatically print when you press the big button on the form that i labeled print. I don't want to skip the whole windows API and use dos or something like that, I just want to print, and have the settings normally set by that print dialogue box to be taken from, say, a little xml config file instead. So what I need to figure out is, how do i make the print event not bring up the print dialogue first, and second, what the properties are that i have to call to set the print settings that would, in this case, be set up by a file rather than the dialogue. So to recap, I want to print the text in a bunch of textboxes on a form directly to the printer by pressing a single windows form button. Thanks |

Print without seeing the print dialogue box first
There are two print commands in Word: FilePrint, which brings up the dialog,
and FilePrintDefault, which prints the entire document using the current settings. -- Suzanne S.

I'm not printing from Word...but from a C# application.
