InfoPath Dev

Hi,

using Microsoft.Office.Interop.InfoPath;

but I can not find printout() under XDocument.  anyone knows why?

Thanks,

any one knows why? or what code should put in the print button in infopath 2010.

 thanks a lot!

For IP 2010, looks like you just need:

 this.Print(true);
or
this.Print(false);

depending on if you want to show the print dialog - from MSDN.

Hi,

just an additional note to Hilary´s answer. this.Print() is not available for browser-based form cause this method prints to a local device. It doesn't print your browser form.

Regards,

Thanks, Karsten, for adding that - I should have mentioned it specifically. It can be kind of confusing, especially for those not accustomed to reading MSDN documentation.

Thanks Karsten and Hilary,

there is no print under this, I mean after type this. no print() in the list...

what do you mean 'browser-based form' ?
The form I built does not publish to any website... it's a plain infoPath form and try add a print button when fill out data in the infoPath filler.

Thank you!

If you go to File->Form Options->Compatibility, what does it show for the Form type?  What programming language and year are selected in File->Form Options->Programming?

Thank you Jimmy,

the Programming Language is C#.  :)

The Form type is Web Browser form... it's the default one, I didn't pick it.
the form linked to a webServices to connect the database. and we will fill out the form through filler. what kind of form type do you think I pick?  what's different between the Web Browser form  and InfoPath filler form?

 Thank you!

If you change the form type to a non-browser form in those properties, you should be able to use the print functionality. 

In future, you can create a non-browser form by selecting one of the Blank Form (InfoPath Filler) options when you select a template type.  If you select just Blank Form it will be set up for browser compatibility.

Thanks Jimmy,

U are right!   :)

After modified the form Type, this.print() shows up . but still can't see printOut() under xDocument.

Thanks

As Hilary pointed out, XDocument is only available in the 2003 object model.  In 2007 and 2010, you would use this.Print();

this.print(); will print the form directly. is there any way can let user do print preview first? :)

Thank you!

Good morning.

I found this JScript online: document.printOut(outputFileName : "C:\\temp\\fileName.tif", printToFile : true); at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7854205/suppress-print-dialog-when-printing-to-microsoft-document-image-writer-from-orac.

I am looking for a C# equivalent in a InfoPath 2007. this.Print() works, but how would you save it as a .tif and name the file?
