Use PrintDialog to print out formatted HTML

[Artie]

Hi,

I've searched the web but can't find a solution to an apparently
really simple problem.

My app contains an HTML string and I need to be able to invoke the
Print Dialog to print the HTML correctly formatted (i.e. not as raw
HTML) to a printer that the User chooses.

So, I need something like:

string _html = "<htmlsome html stuff </html>";

PrintDialog printDialog = new PrintDialog( );
if ( PrintDialog =OK )
{
printer.Print( _html );
}

I want this to invoked the common Windows PrintDialog, and once the
user selects their options and clicks OK, the formatted HTML is
printed.

Any help much appreciated

Cheers

Hi ,

Your problem is that you need the HTML parsed, an option could be use a
WebBrowser control and set Visible to false, then use the Print() method.

Thanks very much for your reply Ignacio.

I should maybe have given a bit more information in my original post.
I actually DO already have a WebBrowser control visible on my form, so
I'll look into the Print() command.

I also have a similar problem with saving the formatted HTML from this
control, which I've posted in the topic "Invoke 'Save As' Dialog to
save WebBrowser control contents".

If you could give me some pointers on this one too, I'll be extremely
grateful.
