It enables you to print into a *PrintDocument* of the *System.Drawing.Printing* namespace. TX Text Control .NET for Windows Forms's *Print* method uses the following settings of this object: - *DocumentName* - PrintController* - PrinterSettings.FromPage* - PrinterSettings.ToPage* - *PrinterSettings.Copies* - *PrinterSettings.Collate* - *PrinterSettings.PrinterName* - *PrinterSettings.PrintToFile* - *PrinterSettings.PrintRange* - *DefaultPageSettings.Color* If you would like to print one specific page of the document, not only *FromPage* and *ToPage* must be specified, but also the *PrintRange* property. The following code sample prints page 2 of TX Text Control and sets the current page size. ``` int m_curPage = 2; PrintDocument myPrintDoc = new PrintDocument(); myPrintDoc.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize = new PaperSize("default", thisTX.PageSize.Width, thisTX.PageSize.Height); myPrintDoc.DefaultPageSettings.Margins = new Margins(thisTX.PageMargins.Left, thisTX.PageMargins.Right, _ thisTX.PageMargins.Top, thisTX.PageMargins.Bottom); myPrintDoc.PrinterSettings.PrintRange = PrintRange.SomePages; myPrintDoc.PrinterSettings.FromPage = m_curPage; myPrintDoc.PrinterSettings.ToPage = m_curPage; thisTX.Print(myPrintDoc); ``` As you can see, the *PrintPage* property must be specified with *SomePages* which indicates that the *FromPage* and *ToPage* is considered. --- ## About Bjoern Meyer As CEO, Bjoern is the visionary behind our strategic direction and business development, bridging the gap between our customers and engineering teams.
