Using the <i class="emphasis">PrintPreviewDialog</i> Class

Using the PrintPreviewDialog Class

As discussed in the In Depth section of this chapter, you can use Print Preview dialog to let the user see what a document will look like when it's printed. This dialog is supported by the PrintPreviewDialog class, which has this class hierarchy:

Object
   MarshalByRefObject
      Component
         Control
            ScrollableControl
               ContainerControl
                  Form
                     PrintPreviewDialog

You can find the notable public properties of PrintPreviewDialog objects in Table 9.30. Note that I'm not listing those members this class inherits from the Control class here (which you can find in Tables 5.1, 5.2, and 5.3) or from the Form class (which you can find in Tables 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3).
