I'm trying to print the content of JFrame but, by looking at different tutorials, I still din't have any luck... Currently Parts of code for printing are
public class View_Check extends javax.swing.JFrame implements Printable{
JFrame frameToPrint;
public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat pf, int page) throws
PrinterException {
if (page > 0) {
return NO_SUCH_PAGE;
}
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
g2d.translate(pf.getImageableX(), pf.getImageableY());
frameToPrint.printAll(g);
return PAGE_EXISTS;
}
and on the click of the button (jButton2)
private void jButton2ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
job.setPrintable(this);
boolean ok = job.printDialog();
if (ok) {
try {
job.print();
} catch (PrinterException ex) {
}
}
}
Im Sure something is missing, but by trying to add "JFrame f" to View_Check didn't help... and new (View_Check(f)) either as f couldn't be found ant NetBeans was turning into a christmas tree with red lines
just in case here is a
public View_Check( Model_Customer cust) {
initComponents();
lblinfo1.setVisible(false);
customer = cust;
lblname.setText(customer.GetFName());
lblsurname.setText(customer.GetLName());
lblMake.setText(customer.GetMake());
lblModel.setText(customer.GetModel());
lblEngine.setText(customer.GetEngine());
lblRegistration.setText(customer.GetRegistration());
lblMileage.setText(customer.GetMileage());
String date = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy").format(new Date());
lblDate.setText(date);
lblPostcode.setText(customer.GetPostcode());
lblNumber.setText(customer.GetNumber());
}
Changed frameToPrint.printAll(g); to this.printAll(g); and worked Like a charm :) Thanks for your help
