Question

I have a simple Web Browser Control that displays a local webpage and that webpage has records and a print function , but whenever i click on the print button inside webpage i being redirected to IE and the print Dialog pops up , what i want is to disable being redirected to any other browser and display the print dialog from my web browser control.

I have searched a lot for a solution but the only thing that kind of logic accepted is :

    private void webBrowser1_NewWindow(object sender, CancelEventArgs e)
    {
        e.Cancel = true;
    }

But didn`t work…..

Here is the JavaSCript Function :

<script type="text/javascript">
function printDiv(printDiv)
{

 //calledFromJSHandlerFunction(document.getElementById(printDiv).innerHTML);
    var w = window.open("about:blank");
    w.document.write(document.getElementById(printDiv).innerHTML);
    w.print();
    w.close();

}

Finally hope you guys help me.

Answer 1

Plugging your javascript into my JS-to-English translator…

Open a new window
Write the div you want printed to the new window
Print just that div
close the new window

The Print command only works on window objects. So if you do not want to print the entire page, and you do not want to create a new window… you will have to create a new CSS and reference it in your HTML. This new CSS will have the media="print" attribute, and will define all elements as non-visible (eg visibility: hidden;) except for the div you want printed.

Alternately you might be able to acheive the same thing by using an IFRAME.
