Hello

I want to print list of images from list as shown below,

I have tried,

On button click,

int currentPage;
ArrayList ListViewItemsData = new ArrayList() { };
private void btn_click(object sender, MouseButtonEvertArgs e)
{
PrintDocument pd = new PrintDocument();
pd.PrintPage += new PrintPageEventHandler(PrintImageHandler);
System.Windows.Forms.PrintDialog pdi = new System.Windows.Forms.PrintDialog();
pdi.Document = pd;
if (pdi.ShowDialog() == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK)
{
pd.Print();
}
}
private void PrintImageHandler(object sender, PrintPageEventArgs ppeArgs)
{
Graphics g = ppeArgs.Graphics;
System.Drawing.Image objimage = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(ListViewItemsData[currentPage].ToString());
g.DrawImage(objimage, 50, 50, objimage.Width, objimage.Height);
currentPage++;
if (currentPage < ListViewItemsData.Count)
{
objimage = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(ListViewItemsData[currentPage].ToString());
g.DrawImage(objimage, 100, 300, objimage.Width, objimage.Height);
currentPage++;
}
ppeArgs.HasMorePages = currentPage < ListViewItemsData.Count;
}

How can I do this? Please help me.

I think that you are doing only copy-paste without reading or understanding the code that for what purpose it was implemented and what the code is actually doing.

Please read the article again from the below link as mentioned earlier:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8442361/print-multiple-images-on-click-of-one-button-print-all-in-winforms

To print individual image per page you have to use
ArrayList ListViewItemsData = new ArrayList() { @"C:\Images\Certificate_003.jpg", @"C:\Images\Certificate_004.jpg", @"C:\Images\Certificate_005.jpg" };
            Graphics g = ppeArgs.Graphics;
            System.Drawing.Image objimage = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(ListViewItemsData[currentPage].ToString());
            g.DrawImage(objimage, 50, 50, objimage.Width, objimage.Height);
            currentPage++;
            //if (currentPage < ListViewItemsData.Count)
            //{
            //  objimage = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(ListViewItemsData[currentPage].ToString());
            //  g.DrawImage(objimage, 100, 300, objimage.Width, objimage.Height);
            //  //currentPage++;
            //}
            ppeArgs.HasMorePages = currentPage < ListViewItemsData.Count;
Commented part is being used to print multiple image on a single page.
You only have to take care of the image size is always less than the page size, this can be re-adjust by g.DrawImage(##). You can google it for more understanding.

Coming to your question, print preview image (as attached by you) is by default feature of Google Chrome and if you look at it properly, it contains printer settings.

However, you can create your own printer preview dialog and get/set the value from it to printer setting. PrintDocument class also contains the printer settings that you may use.

The same has been attached for your consideration.

To be more productive, you must have a habit of debug and find the error and solves of your own, this will not only saves your time but you have much deeper knowledge of the problem than any other have.

Hope you don't mind and keep coding. The more you explore the more you achieve.

If you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to ask.

Thanks Amit. My problem solved.

Huuu... Again on the same path...

Do all your stuff outside your print handler because it being called everytime when pages were more than once. Just only pass a collection of array in that handler and it will do the rest ( as enclosed earlier).
ppeArgs.HasMorePages = currentPage < ListViewItemsData.Count;
}
Just because the ListViewItemsData is reinitializing again and again.

Hello Amit,

The console app is working well, but implement on window application loop is not ending. Please look up on the below code.
/*inside button click*/
try
                {
                    PrintDocument pd = new PrintDocument();
                    pd.PrintPage += new PrintPageEventHandler(PrintImageHandler);
                    System.Windows.Forms.PrintDialog pdi = new System.Windows.Forms.PrintDialog();
                    pd.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters[0];
                    pdi.Document = pd;
                    if (pdi.ShowDialog() == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK)
                    {
                        pd.Print();
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        MessageBox.Show("Print Cancelled");
                    }
}
                catch (Exception ex)
                {
                    MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
                }
then, here is the problem occuring loop is not ending. printing is wrongly happening here.
private void PrintImageHandler(object sender, PrintPageEventArgs ppeArgs)
      {
          ArrayList ListViewItemsData = new ArrayList() { };
          DMSBusinessLayer service = new DMSBusinessLayer();
          List objTble_Documents = new List();
          int UserId = 0;
          string ImgName = string.Empty;
          string Priority = string.Empty;
          foreach (DocumentsUser item in listView1.SelectedItems)
          {
              UserId = Convert.ToInt32(item.UserId);
              ImgName = item.Parent_File_Name;
              Priority = item.Priority;
              objTble_Documents = service.PrintUserDocuments(ImgName, UserId, Priority).AsEnumerable().Select(m => new DocumentsUser()
              {
                  Child_File_Name = m.Field<string>("Child_File_Name"),
                  FilePath = m.Field<string>("FilePath"),
                  Parent_File_Name = m.Field<string>("Parent_File_Name")
              }).ToList();

              var items = objTble_Documents.SelectMany((x) => new[]
          {
              new
              {Child_File_Name = x.Child_File_Name,FilePath = x.FilePath,Parent_File_Name = x.Parent_File_Name}});

              foreach (var i in items)
              {
                  ListViewItemsCollections.Add(new objListViewItemsData()
                  {
                      Child_File_Name = i.Child_File_Name,
                      FilePath = i.FilePath,
                      Parent_File_Name = i.Parent_File_Name
                  });
              }
          }

          foreach (var i in ListViewItemsCollections)
          {
              ListViewItemsData.Add(Convert.ToString(i.FilePath) + Convert.ToString(i.Parent_File_Name) + "_" + Convert.ToString(i.Child_File_Name));
          }

          Graphics g = ppeArgs.Graphics;
          System.Drawing.Image objimage = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(ListViewItemsData[currentPage].ToString());
          g.DrawImage(objimage, 50, 50, objimage.Width, objimage.Height);
          currentPage++;
          ppeArgs.HasMorePages = currentPage < ListViewItemsData.Count;
      }

You can try below snippet to print image
var pro = new Process ();
pro.StartInfo.FileName ="mspaint.exe";
pro.StartInfo.Arguments = "/pt " +test.jpg;
pro.Start ();

Hello Amit,

Yes, but that was just open printer windows. But now customer demanding that, they want to print images seperately. But now above code is printing all images within a page only. I want to print list of all images separate file. How can I do that?

Thanks
