Adding a PrintWindow class
Posted: Sun Mar 29, 2009 4:07 pm
I have a very useful printing class I'd like to add to OD called PrintWindow.cs
Using this class, one simply has to issue the following on any form to print the contents of the active window:
If this is OK, where should I put the class in OpenDentBusiness?
Thanks.

Code: Select all

public void butPrint_Click(object sender,EventArgs e) {
printWindow = new PrintWindow();
printWindow.Print(this.Handle);
}Thanks.
