WPF / Silverlight:视觉印刷 - 缺点

我读过一两次来自WPF / Silverlight的打印视觉效果有一些缺点,所以人们通常倾向于使用FlowDocument或FixedDocument进行打印。

我想打印一些图形强烈的仪表板,直接打印视觉似乎是最简单的方法。我不必关心分页,因为我想要打印的每个仪表板都应该放在一页上。

在选择这种打印方式之前,我还必须考虑一些缺点吗?

您可以通过在FrameworkElement中托管Visual对象,然后将FrameworkElement作为FixedPage的内容添加到FixedDocument来打印它们。 Visual主机看起来像这样:

/// <summary>
/// Implements a FrameworkElement host for a Visual
/// </summary>
public class VisualHost : FrameworkElement
{
    Visual _visual;


    /// <summary>
    /// Gets the number of visual children (always 1)
    /// </summary>
    protected override int VisualChildrenCount
    {
        get { return 1; }
    }


    /// <summary>
    /// Constructor
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="visual">The visual to host</param>
    public VisualHost(Visual visual)
    {
        _visual = visual;

        AddVisualChild(_visual);
        AddLogicalChild(_visual);
    }


    /// <summary>
    /// Get the specified visual child (always
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="index">Index of visual (should always be 0)</param>
    /// <returns>The visual</returns>
    protected override Visual GetVisualChild(int index)
    {
        if (index != 0)
            throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException("index out of range");
        return _visual;
    }
}

然后你可以添加它们并像这样打印出来:

        // Start the fixed document
        FixedDocument fixedDoc = new FixedDocument();
        Point margin = new Point(96/2, 96/2);      // Half inch margins

        // Add the visuals
        foreach (Visual nextVisual in visualCollection)
        {
            // Host the visual
            VisualHost host = new VisualHost(nextVisual);
            Canvas canvas = new Canvas();
            Canvas.SetLeft(host, margin.X);
            Canvas.SetTop(host, margin.Y);
            canvas.Children.Add(host);

            // Make a FixedPage out of the canvas and add it to the document
            PageContent pageContent = new PageContent();
            FixedPage fixedPage = new FixedPage();
            fixedPage.Children.Add(canvas);
            ((System.Windows.Markup.IAddChild)pageContent).AddChild(fixedPage);
            fixedDoc.Pages.Add(pageContent);
        }

        // Write the finished FixedDocument to the print queue
        XpsDocumentWriter xpsDocumentWriter = PrintQueue.CreateXpsDocumentWriter(queue);
        xpsDocumentWriter.Write(fixedDoc);
