Printing frame #141

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
It is more of a question than an issue. Is it possible to print any other 
frame/dialog in the application other than the dialogs that have cef browser 
using cef's print functionality?
May be by passing the DC/frame/window to be printed to cef's print function.

Printing is executed using CefFrame::Print() -- you can print from any 
CefFrame. The printing implementation lives in browser_impl_win.cc 
CefBrowserImpl::UIT_PrintPages().  It's dependent on skia and WebKit so it 
wouldn't be very useful for anything other than browser frames.

In a pinch you could take a screen shot of your non-CEF dialog, load it in a 
CefFrame (potentially off-screen) and print from there. Or, even better, create 
a print-friendly version of your dialog contents as an HTML document and print 
that instead.

In the future, please ask these kinds of questions on the CEF Forum.
