PrintController

---

System.Drawing.Printing (system.drawing.dll)

abstract class

This is the abstract base for classes that manage the printing of a PrintDocument .

You set a PrintController instance into the PrintDocument.PrintController property. Then, when you call PrintDocument.Print() , it invokes the OnStartPrint() , then OnStartPage() , OnEndPage() , and finally OnEndPrint() methods .

The start and end print methods receive the PrintDocument and a PrintEventArgs instance, while the start and end page methods receive the PrintDocument and a PrintPageEventArgs property. These methods control the sending of the document and its pages to the print device. This is the actual printer, in the case of the StandardPrintController or PrintControllerWithStatusDialog , but is a set of images, in the case of the PreviewPrintController .

 public abstract class  PrintController  {  // Public Constructors  public  PrintController  ();  // Public Instance Methods  public virtual void  OnEndPage  (PrintDocument  document  , PrintPageEventArgs  e  );    public virtual void  OnEndPrint  (PrintDocument  document  , PrintEventArgs  e  );    public virtual Graphics  OnStartPage  (PrintDocument  document  , PrintPageEventArgs  e  );    public virtual void  OnStartPrint  (PrintDocument  document  , PrintEventArgs  e  ); }
