Detailed Description

A Gtk::PrintDialog object collects the arguments that are needed to present a print dialog to the user, such as a title for the dialog and whether it should be modal.

The dialog is shown with the setup() function. The actual printing can be done with print() or print_file(). These APIs follow the GIO async pattern, and the results can be obtained by calling the corresponding finish methods.

noexcept

print() [1/2]

void Gtk::PrintDialog::print	(	const Gio::SlotAsyncReady &	slot,
		const Glib::RefPtr< PrintSetup > &	setup = {},
		const Glib::RefPtr< Gio::Cancellable > &	cancellable = {}
	)

A print() convenience overload.

print() [2/2]

void Gtk::PrintDialog::print	(	Window &	parent,
		const Gio::SlotAsyncReady &	slot,
		const Glib::RefPtr< PrintSetup > &	setup = {},
		const Glib::RefPtr< Gio::Cancellable > &	cancellable = {}
	)

This function prints content from a stream.

If you pass nullptr as setup, then this method will present a print dialog. Otherwise, it will attempt to print directly, without user interaction.

The slot will be called when the printing is done.

Since gtkmm 4.14:

Parameters

parent	The parent Gtk::Window.
setup	The Gtk::PrintSetup to use.
cancellable	A Cancellable to cancel the operation.
slot	A callback to call when the operation is complete.

print_file() [1/2]

void Gtk::PrintDialog::print_file	(	const Gio::SlotAsyncReady &	slot,
		const Glib::RefPtr< Gio::File > &	file,
		const Glib::RefPtr< PrintSetup > &	setup = {},
		const Glib::RefPtr< Gio::Cancellable > &	cancellable = {}
	)

A print_file() convenience overload.

print_file() [2/2]

void Gtk::PrintDialog::print_file	(	Window &	parent,
		const Gio::SlotAsyncReady &	slot,
		const Glib::RefPtr< Gio::File > &	file,
		const Glib::RefPtr< PrintSetup > &	setup = {},
		const Glib::RefPtr< Gio::Cancellable > &	cancellable = {}
	)

This function prints a file.

If you pass nullptr as setup, then this method will present a print dialog. Otherwise, it will attempt to print directly, without user interaction.

Since gtkmm 4.14:

Parameters

parent	The parent Gtk::Window.
setup	The Gtk::PrintSetup to use.
file	The Gio::File to print.
cancellable	A Cancellable to cancel the operation.
slot	A callback to call when the operation is complete.

print_file_finish()

bool Gtk::PrintDialog::print_file_finish

(

const Glib::RefPtr< Gio::AsyncResult > &

result

)

Finishes the print_file() call and returns the results.

Since gtkmm 4.14:

Parameters

result

A Gio::AsyncResult.

Returns

Whether the call was successful.

Exceptions

Gtk::DialogError

print_finish()

Glib::RefPtr< Gio::OutputStream > Gtk::PrintDialog::print_finish

(

const Glib::RefPtr< Gio::AsyncResult > &

result

)

Finishes the print() call and returns the results.

If the call was successful, the content to be printed should be written to the returned output stream. Otherwise, nullptr is returned.

The overall results of the print operation will be returned in the Gio::OutputStream::close() call, so if you are interested in the results, you need to explicitly close the output stream (it will be closed automatically if you just unref it). Be aware that the close call may not be instant as it operation will for the printer to finish printing.

Since gtkmm 4.14:

Parameters

result

A Gio::AsyncResult.

Returns

A Gio::OutputStream.

Gtk::DialogError

setup() [1/2]

setup() [2/2]

void Gtk::PrintDialog::setup	(	Window &	parent,
		const Gio::SlotAsyncReady &	slot,

This function presents a print dialog to let the user select a printer, and set up print settings and page setup.

The slot will be called when the dialog is dismissed. The obtained Gtk::PrintSetup can then be passed to print() or print_file().

One possible use for this method is to have the user select a printer, then show a page setup UI in the application (e.g. to arrange images on a page), then call print() on self to do the printing without further user interaction.

Since gtkmm 4.14:

Parameters

parent	The parent Gtk::Window.
cancellable	A Cancellable to cancel the operation.
slot	A callback to call when the operation is complete.

setup_finish()

Glib::RefPtr< PrintSetup > Gtk::PrintDialog::setup_finish

(

const Glib::RefPtr< Gio::AsyncResult > &

result

)

Finishes the setup() call.

If the call was successful, it returns a Gtk::PrintSetup which contains the print settings and page setup information that will be used to print.

Since gtkmm 4.14:

Parameters

result

A Gio::AsyncResult.

Returns

The Gtk::PrintSetup object that resulted from the call, or nullptr if the call was not successful.

Exceptions

Gtk::DialogError
