How to: Complete Windows Forms Print Jobs

  • Artikel

Frequently, word processors and other applications that involve printing will provide the option to display a message to users that a print job is complete. You can provide this functionality in your Windows Forms by handling the EndPrint event of the PrintDocument component.

The following procedure requires that you have created a Windows-based application with a PrintDocument component on it, which is the standard way of enabling printing from a Windows-based application. For more information about printing from Windows Forms using the PrintDocument component, see How to: Create Standard Windows Forms Print Jobs.

To complete a print job

  1. Set the DocumentName property of the PrintDocument component.

    PrintDocument1.DocumentName = "MyTextFile"  

    printDocument1.DocumentName = "MyTextFile";  

    printDocument1->DocumentName = "MyTextFile";

  2. Write code to handle the EndPrint event.

    In the following code example, a message box is displayed, indicating that the document has finished printing.

    Private Sub PrintDocument1_EndPrint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Drawing.Printing.PrintEventArgs) Handles PrintDocument1.EndPrint  
   MessageBox.Show(PrintDocument1.DocumentName + " has finished printing.")  
End Sub  

    private void printDocument1_EndPrint(object sender,
System.Drawing.Printing.PrintEventArgs e)  
{  
   MessageBox.Show(printDocument1.DocumentName +
      " has finished printing.");  
}  

    private:  
   void printDocument1_EndPrint(System::Object ^ sender,  
      System::Drawing::Printing::PrintEventArgs ^ e)  
   {  
      MessageBox::Show(String::Concat(printDocument1->DocumentName,  
         " has finished printing."));  
   }

    (Visual C# and Visual C++) Place the following code in the form's constructor to register the event handler.

    this.printDocument1.EndPrint += new  
   System.Drawing.Printing.PrintEventHandler  
   (this.printDocument1_EndPrint);  

    this->printDocument1->EndPrint += gcnew  
   System::Drawing::Printing::PrintEventHandler  
   (this, &Form1::printDocument1_EndPrint);
