Default Printer Printing Help

[Chan Kuan Leang]

I am using stiWebReport & stiWebViewer, version Stimul Reports.Net 2007.1

How do I default the printing direct to the default printer?
I had try using .PrintToDirect() in the page load. But, it always lead me to Print Preview.

Is there any Notes or FAQ teaching me how to do this?

Thanks

Unfortunately there is no such a commandto print directly from the StiWebViewer.

But if you render your report as pdf file via the following command:

Code: Select all

StiReportResponse.ResponseAsPdf(this, report)

then printing is possible without additional window and WYSIWYG is guaranteed as well.

Thank you.

Hello,

I don't know well the stiWebReport class but if you do

Code: Select all

stiWebReport.GetReport().Print(false)
or
stiWebViewer.Report.Print(false)

it should print directly to the default printer, isn't it ?

Cordially,
Kakone.

Possible ways for printing are presented in the WebDemo example application from the standard delivery.

Please show your code as you trying to print from the stiWebViewer class.

Thank you.

The code is as above.

Yes, the code is correct, but unfortunately it is not possible to print without this popup window.

The html representation of the report can be slightly different from the preview window.

If the report must be printed from the StiWebViewer, than also possible to represent it in pdf format via the following command:

Code: Select all

StiReportResponse.ResponseAsPdf(this, report);

Thank you.

Is it possible to have it in VB code?
