WPF: How do you print in Landscape mode?

Question

found this function online, which works great... except I can't figure out how to default it to print in landscape.

private void PrintClick(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
  PrintDialog dialog = new PrintDialog();
  if (dialog.ShowDialog() == true)
  { dialog.PrintVisual(_PrintCanvas, "My Canvas"); }
}

How does one actually set the default to print my wpf content to landscape mode?

Answer 1

Edit: Fixed variable name, mentioned by @SHIN JaeGuk

private void PrintClick(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    PrintDialog dialog = new PrintDialog();
    if (dialog.ShowDialog() == true)
    { 
        //Set PageOrientation to Landscape
        dialog.PrintTicket.PageOrientation = PageOrientation.Landscape;
        dialog.PrintVisual(_PrintCanvas, "My Canvas"); 
    }
}

Edit:

It appears there is a problem with the PrintTicket and printing visuals, check out: Same question on MSDN

The original poster on the MSDN forum posted on the last post that the work around they used was to basically capture the visual and convert to xps document for printing, this will allow the usage of PrintTicket to set the orientation of the printed document.

I'm not looking at printing a Document, but a piece of content. For example, right now I pass in (Visual)mytabs.SelectedContent into my print.printVisual() method. Where exactly would I stick my mytabs.SelectedContent in the answer you pointed to? – Vitebsk

Answer 3

private void PrintClick(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
   PrintDialog dialog = new PrintDialog();
   if (dialog.ShowDialog() == true)
      { 
         dialog.PrintTicket.PageOrientation=System.Printing.PageOrientation.Landscape;
         dialog.PrintVisual(this, "First LandScape"); 
      }
 }

You need to add a reference to ReachFramework.dll and System.Printing.dll each.
