Question

I have 3 printing methods: printa, printb , and printc (each printing a form) . All the 3 forms need to be printed across multiple pages. How can I print across 3 pages?

I know that we need to use the the event handler and use currentpage and e.hasmorepages but I’m not sure how to use it.

Answer 1

Simply keep track of the page number. You set it to 0 in the BeginPrint event and increment it every time that PrintPage is called. Like this:

    int pageNumber;

    private void printDocument1_BeginPrint(object sender, System.Drawing.Printing.PrintEventArgs e) {
        pageNumber = 0;
    }

    private void printDocument1_PrintPage(object sender, System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs e) {
        ++pageNumber;
        e.HasMorePages = true;
        switch (pageNumber) {
            case 1: printa(e); break;
            case 2: printb(e); break;
            case 3: printc(e); e.HasMorePages = false; break;
        }
    }
