Print dialog box

To post the Print dialog box from a button in your dialog box, you first access the print form mode by using the getPrintForm method of the FileToolsetGui class. This can be done by storing a pointer to the form as shown in the following example:

from sessionGui import FileToolsetGui

class MyMainWindow(AFXMainWindow):

    #~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    def __init__(self, app, windowTitle=''):

        ...

        fileToolset = FileToolsetGui()
        self.printForm = fileToolset.getPrintForm()
        self.registerToolset(fileToolset,
            GUI_IN_MENUBAR|GUI_IN_TOOLBAR)

        ...

Then you can use the print form in your dialog box class, as shown below:

printForm = getAFXApp().getAFXMainWindow().printForm 
FXButton(parent, 'Print...', None, printForm,
    AFXMode.ID_ACTIVATE)

To access the print form, you must construct and register the file toolset. However, you cannot access the print form from within a plug-in. As a result, you can only use the approach described here in a customized application.
