Silent print HTML file in C # using WPF

EDIT: Completely rewrote the question and added a reward.

Based on many stackoverflow guides and questions, I can now:

  • Print multiple pages together as one document.
  • Print current content.
  • Align the content on the page.
  • Print the documents you want.

The solution requires the HTML document to have white space at the bottom and an html style tag {overflow: hidden; } - to hide the scrollbars and allow scrolling for pagination, but I can accept that.

The only remaining problem is that WPF is not displaying parts of the web browser that are off-screen.

This means that if I tilt my computer screen I can print correctly, but if I do not document this bottom,

I tried rendering to a bitmap but when I print the resulting image like my visual the pages are empty.

If you know how to get WPF to fully render, or how to render a bitmap correctly, please help me.

XAML print window: (WPF print only works on UI thread, otherwise nothing is displayed ...)

<Window x:Class="CardLoader2000.PrintWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        Title="PrintWindow" Height="1139" Width="820">
    <Grid x:Name="grid">
        <!--The alignment and size of the webbrowser is reflected in the print. If larger than document
        it will be cut. The width here corresponds to A4 paper width with a little margin-->
        <WebBrowser x:Name="webBrowser" Height="1089" Width="770" VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="0,10,0,0"/>
    </Grid>
</Window>

      

Print window with code:

public partial class PrintWindow : Window
    {
        public PrintWindow(string path)
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            FileStream fs = new FileStream(path, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);

            webBrowser.NavigateToStream(fs);

            ContentRendered += OnContentRendered;
        }

        private void OnContentRendered(object sender, EventArgs eventArgs)
        {
            PrintDialog pd = new PrintDialog
            {
                PrintTicket = new PrintTicket
                {
                    Duplexing = Duplexing.TwoSidedLongEdge,
                    OutputColor = OutputColor.Monochrome,
                    PageOrientation = PageOrientation.Portrait,
                    PageMediaSize = new PageMediaSize(794, 1122),
                    InputBin = InputBin.AutoSelect
                }
            };

            //Ok, final TODO: Page only renders what is on the PC screen...
            WebPaginator paginator = new WebPaginator(webBrowser, 1089, 1122, 794);

            pd.PrintDocument(paginator, "CustomerLetter");

            Close();
        }
    }

      

Custom pointer:

public class WebPaginator : DocumentPaginator
    {
        private readonly WebBrowser webBrowser;
        private readonly int pageScroll;
        private Size pageSize;

        public WebPaginator(WebBrowser webBrowser, int pageScroll, double pageHeight, double pageWidth)
        {
            this.webBrowser = webBrowser;
            this.pageScroll = pageScroll;
            pageSize = new Size(pageWidth, pageHeight);
        }

        public override DocumentPage GetPage(int pageNumber)
        {
            HTMLDocument htmlDoc = webBrowser.Document as HTMLDocument;
            if (htmlDoc != null) htmlDoc.parentWindow.scrollTo(0, pageScroll * pageNumber);
            Rect area = new Rect(pageSize);

            return new DocumentPage(webBrowser, pageSize, area, area);
        }

        public override bool IsPageCountValid
        {
            get { return true; }
        }

        /// <summary>
        /// Returns one less than actual length.
        /// Last page should be whitespace, used for scrolling.
        /// </summary>
        public override int PageCount
        {
            get
            {
                var doc = (IHTMLDocument2)webBrowser.Document;
                var height = ((IHTMLElement2)doc.body).scrollHeight;
                int tempVal = height*10/pageScroll;
                tempVal = tempVal%10 == 0
                    ? Math.Max(height/pageScroll, 1)
                    : height/pageScroll + 1;
                return tempVal > 1 ? tempVal-1 : tempVal;
            }
        }

        public override Size PageSize
        {
            get
            {
                return pageSize;
            }
            set
            {
                pageSize = value;
            }
        }

        /// <summary>
        /// Can be null.
        /// </summary>
        public override IDocumentPaginatorSource Source
        {
            get
            {
                return null;
            }
        }
    }

You can use IE's standard print function (via the ExecWB method ) like:



public partial class PrintWindow : Window
{
    public PrintWindow()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        webBrowser.Navigate("http://www.google.com");
    }

    // I have added a button to demonstrate
    private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        // NOTE: this works only when the document as been loaded
        IOleServiceProvider sp = webBrowser.Document as IOleServiceProvider;
        if (sp != null)
        {
            Guid IID_IWebBrowserApp = new Guid("0002DF05-0000-0000-C000-000000000046");
            Guid IID_IWebBrowser2 = new Guid("D30C1661-CDAF-11d0-8A3E-00C04FC9E26E");
            const int OLECMDID_PRINT = 6;
            const int OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER = 2;

            dynamic wb; // will be of IWebBrowser2 type, but dynamic is cool
            sp.QueryService(IID_IWebBrowserApp, IID_IWebBrowser2, out wb);
            if (wb != null)
            {
                // note: this will send to the default printer, if any
                wb.ExecWB(OLECMDID_PRINT, OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER, null, null);
            }
        }
    }

    [ComImport, Guid("6D5140C1-7436-11CE-8034-00AA006009FA"), InterfaceType(ComInterfaceType.InterfaceIsIUnknown)]
    private interface IOleServiceProvider
    {
        [PreserveSig]
        int QueryService([MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStruct)] Guid guidService, [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStruct)]  Guid riid, [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.IDispatch)] out object ppvObject);
    }
}
