Question

I’m using C# 4.0 and MsCharts within Visual Studio 2010. When I execute

MyPlotChart.Printing.PrintPreview();

(See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.datavisualization.charting.printingmanager.printpreview ) It works as intended, but the Print Preview dialog shows the default icon. Is there a way to use my own icon, please? Like what I would do with PrintPreviewDialog.Icon (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.printpreviewdialog.icon.aspx )

Thanks.

In the end I wrote a hack for this. I added a forms.timer that I enable right before calling PrintPreview(). Then I locate the form in Application.OpenForms and set the icon.

    private void printPreviewToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (PrintPreviewIcon != null)
        {
            PrintPreviewTimer.Enabled = true;
        }

        PlotChart.Printing.PrintPreview();
    }

    private void PrintPreviewTimer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        foreach (Form f in Application.OpenForms)
        {
            if (f is PrintPreviewDialog)
            {
                f.Icon = PrintPreviewIcon;
                PrintPreviewTimer.Enabled = false;
            }
        }
    }
