Types

Returns true if the user has aborted the print job.

Types

Option = {prompt, boolean()}

Starts the printing process.

Provide a parent window, a user-defined wxPrintout object which controls the printing of a document, and whether the print dialog should be invoked first.

print/4 could return false if there was a problem initializing the printer device context (current printer not set, for example) or the user cancelled printing. Call getLastError/0 to get detailed information about the kind of the error.

Types

Invokes the print dialog.

If successful (the user did not press Cancel and no error occurred), a suitable device context will be returned; otherwise NULL is returned; call getLastError/0 to get detailed information about the kind of the error.

Remark: The application must delete this device context to avoid a memory leak.

Types

Invokes the print setup dialog.

Deprecated: The setup dialog is obsolete, though retained for backward compatibility.

Destroys the object.
