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.

//This method displays a PageSetupDialog object. If the
// user clicks OK in the dialog, selected results of
// the dialog are displayed in ListBox1.
void Button1_Click( System::Object^ /*sender*/, System::EventArgs^ /*e*/ )
{
   
   // Initialize the dialog's PrinterSettings property to hold user
   // defined printer settings.
   PageSetupDialog1->PageSettings = gcnew System::Drawing::Printing::PageSettings;
   
   // Initialize dialog's PrinterSettings property to hold user
   // set printer settings.
   PageSetupDialog1->PrinterSettings = gcnew System::Drawing::Printing::PrinterSettings;
   
   //Do not show the network in the printer dialog.
   PageSetupDialog1->ShowNetwork = false;
   
   //Show the dialog storing the result.
   System::Windows::Forms::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 )
   {
      array<Object^>^results = {PageSetupDialog1->PageSettings->Margins,PageSetupDialog1->PageSettings->PaperSize,PageSetupDialog1->PageSettings->Landscape,PageSetupDialog1->PrinterSettings->PrinterName,PageSetupDialog1->PrinterSettings->PrintRange};
      ListBox1->Items->AddRange( results );
   }
   
}


//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);
    }
}


'This method displays a PageSetupDialog object. If the
' user clicks OK in the dialog, selected results of
' the dialog are displayed in ListBox1.
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
    ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

        ListBox1.Items.AddRange(results)
    End If

End Sub

Remarks

The PageSetupDialog dialog box modifies the PageSettings and PrinterSettings information for a given Document. The user can enable sections of the dialog box to manipulate printing and margins; paper orientation, size, and source; and to show Help and network buttons. The MinMargins property defines the minimum margins a user can select.

When you create an instance of the PageSetupDialog class, the read/write properties are set to initial values. For a list of these values, see the PageSetupDialog constructor.

Because a PageSetupDialog needs page settings to display, you need to set the Document, PrinterSettings, or PageSettings property before calling ShowDialog; otherwise, an exception will occur.
