Print(Boolean) Method

In This Topic

Initiates the printing process for the currently opened document, either a section or a page report, with the option to display or bypass the print dialog.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Overloads Function Print( _
   ByVal showPrintDialog As Boolean _
) As Boolean

public bool Print( 
   bool showPrintDialog
)

Parameters

showPrintDialog: Specifies whether or not the Print dialog should be shown.

Return Value

Returns true if the printing process is initiated successfully; otherwise, returns false. Note that a return value of true does not guarantee the completion of the printing process, but rather the successful initiation of the print job.

Remarks

This overload of the Print method uses default settings for showing the print progress dialog and using a printing thread. To customize these settings, consider using the overload that accepts these parameters explicitly.

Example

// Assuming 'viewer' is an instance of the Viewer class
// This will print to the default printer without showing the print dialog
bool printSuccess = viewer.Print(showPrintDialog: false);
if (printSuccess)
    MessageBox.Show("Printing initiated successfully.");
else
    MessageBox.Show("Printing failed.");
