Print a picture from a picturebox

[Roh]

Hi.

I have a problem.

How can print a picture from a picturebox?

How can put correct object in Associateobjet to print it?

Hi Roh,

The RadPrintDocument can only be used with RadControls implementing the IPrintable interface. This is also the type of the AssociatedObject property. If you want to use it with a standard picture box, you will need to inherit it and implement the interface similarly as demonstrated here: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/telerik-presentation-framework/printing-support/how-to/create-prinatble-panel.

Please also check my code snippet below: 

public class PrintablePictureBox : PictureBox, IPrintable
{
    public int BeginPrint(RadPrintDocument sender, PrintEventArgs args)
    {
        return 1;
    }

    public bool EndPrint(RadPrintDocument sender, PrintEventArgs args)
    {
        return true;
    }

    public Form GetSettingsDialog(RadPrintDocument document)
    {
        return new PrintSettingsDialog(document);
    }

    public bool PrintPage(int pageNumber, RadPrintDocument sender, PrintPageEventArgs args)
    {
        Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(this.Width, this.Height);
        this.DrawToBitmap(bmp, new Rectangle(Point.Empty, this.Size));
        args.Graphics.DrawImage(bmp, Point.Empty);

        return false;
    }


    public void Print()
    {
        RadPrintDocument doc = this.CreatePrintDocument();
        doc.Print();
    }

    public void PrintPreview()
    {
        RadPrintDocument doc = this.CreatePrintDocument();
        RadPrintPreviewDialog dialog = new RadPrintPreviewDialog(doc);

        dialog.ShowDialog();
    }

    private RadPrintDocument CreatePrintDocument()
    {
        RadPrintDocument doc = new RadPrintDocument();
        doc.AssociatedObject = this;
        return doc;
    }
}

I hope this will help.
