Hide Print and print dialog

wxPython Users
1

I use with success the wx print framework, but now I’m not like to show this
printing dialog when I make a print

" Please wait while printing ‘mytitle’ "

with something like :

“Please wait, I’m printing page x/x”

Do someone find/know a solution?

Thanks,
Pete

There are several different printing mechanisms in wxPython. What
calls are you using, exactly?
Because of print spooling, that can be confusing. The application,
for example, has no idea when the print job actually hits a
printer. Your application can certainly display which page it’s
currently generating, but that only means it’s going into the print
queue.

Thanks for the reply!

Here is code :

data = wx.PageSetupDialogData()
data.SetPrintData(self.pdata)

data.SetDefaultMinMargins(True)

exec print job

data = wx.PrintDialogData(self.pdata)
printer = wx.Printer(data)

text = self.tc.GetValue()

img = self.img
printout = ImagePrintout(img, “title”, self.pdata)
useSetupDialog = False
if not printer.Print(self, printout, useSetupDialog)
and printer.GetLastError() == wx.PRINTER_ERROR:
wx.MessageBox(
“There was a problem printing.\n”
“Perhaps your current printer is not set correctly?”,
“Printing Error”, wx.OK)
else:
data = printer.GetPrintDialogData()
self.pdata = wx.PrintData(data.GetPrintData()) # force a copy
printout.Destroy()


My application running on many computers outside, it used to be printing photos.

So I don't want the customers can see the dialog box when they printing photo.

Does it has solution to hide this dialog box?

The dialog box is created by the underlying C++ code, in
wxPrinterBase::CreateAbortWindow. If this were C++, you could derive a
new class and override it, but I don't think that works across the C++ /
Python boundary.

The wx.Printer functions are just convenience functions that wrap the
lower-level APIs. If you really need that much control, then you may
need to use the lower-level APIs yourself.
