Java Tutorial/SWT/PrintDialog

17. PrintDialog.open() returns a PrinterData object.

   <source lang="java">

import org.eclipse.swt.printing.PrintDialog; import org.eclipse.swt.printing.PrinterData; import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display; import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell; public class MainClass {

 public static void main(String[] args) {
   Display display = new Display();
   Shell shell = new Shell(display);
   PrintDialog dlg = new PrintDialog(shell);
   PrinterData printerData = dlg.open();
   if (printerData != null) {
     System.out.println(printerData.printToFile);
     // Printer printer = new Printer(printerData);
     // Use printer . . .
     // printer.dispose();
   }
   while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
     if (!display.readAndDispatch()) {
       display.sleep();
     }
   }
   display.dispose();
 }

17. Select some options programmatically before displaying the dialog

   <source lang="java">

import org.eclipse.swt.printing.PrintDialog; import org.eclipse.swt.printing.PrinterData; import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display; import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell; public class MainClass {

 public static void main(String[] args) {
   Display display = new Display();
   Shell shell = new Shell(display);
   PrintDialog dlg = new PrintDialog(shell);
   
   dlg.setScope(PrinterData.SELECTION);
   
   PrinterData printerData = dlg.open();
   if (printerData != null) {
     System.out.println(printerData.printToFile);
     // Printer printer = new Printer(printerData);
     // Use printer . . .
     // printer.dispose();
   }
   while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
     if (!display.readAndDispatch()) {
       display.sleep();
     }
   }
   display.dispose();
 }
