PrintOperationPropertyName

Determines whether the print operation may run asynchronously or not.

Some systems don’t support asynchronous printing, but those that do will return GTK_PRINT_OPERATION_RESULT_IN_PROGRESS as the status, and emit the GtkPrintOperation::done signal when the operation is actually done.

The Windows port does not support asynchronous operation at all (this is unlikely to change). On other platforms, all actions except for GTK_PRINT_OPERATION_ACTION_EXPORT support asynchronous operation.

The current page in the document.

If this is set before gtk_print_operation_run(), the user will be able to select to print only the current page.

Note that this only makes sense for pre-paginated documents.

Used as the label of the tab containing custom widgets. Note that this property may be ignored on some platforms.

If this is nil, GTK+ uses a default label.

The GtkPageSetup used by default.

This page setup will be used by gtk_print_operation_run(), but it can be overridden on a per-page basis by connecting to the GtkPrintOperation::request-page-setup signal.

If true, page size combo box and orientation combo box are embedded into page setup page.

The name of a file to generate instead of showing the print dialog. Currently, PDF is the only supported format.

The intended use of this property is for implementing “Export to PDF” actions.

“Print to PDF” support is independent of this and is done by letting the user pick the “Print to PDF” item from the list of printers in the print dialog.

Determines whether there is a selection in your application. This can allow your application to print the selection. This is typically used to make a “Selection” button sensitive.

A string used to identify the job (e.g. in monitoring applications like eggcups).

If you don’t set a job name, GTK+ picks a default one by numbering successive print jobs.

The number of pages in the document.

This must be set to a positive number before the rendering starts. It may be set in a GtkPrintOperation::begin-print signal hander.

Note that the page numbers passed to the GtkPrintOperation::request-page-setup and GtkPrintOperation::draw-page signals are 0-based, i.e. if the user chooses to print all pages, the last draw-page signal will be for page n_pages - 1.

The number of pages that will be printed.

Note that this value is set during print preparation phase (GTK_PRINT_STATUS_PREPARING), so this value should never be get before the data generation phase (GTK_PRINT_STATUS_GENERATING_DATA). You can connect to the GtkPrintOperation::status-changed signal and call gtk_print_operation_get_n_pages_to_print() when print status is GTK_PRINT_STATUS_GENERATING_DATA. This is typically used to track the progress of print operation.

The GtkPrintSettings used for initializing the dialog.

Setting this property is typically used to re-establish print settings from a previous print operation, see gtk_print_operation_run().

Determines whether to show a progress dialog during the print operation.

The status of the print operation.

A string representation of the status of the print operation. The string is translated and suitable for displaying the print status e.g. in a GtkStatusbar.

See the GtkPrintOperation:status property for a status value that is suitable for programmatic use.

If true, the print operation will support print of selection. This allows the print dialog to show a “Selection” button.

If true, the print operation will try to continue report on the status of the print job in the printer queues and printer. This can allow your application to show things like “out of paper” issues, and when the print job actually reaches the printer. However, this is often implemented using polling, and should not be enabled unless needed.

The transformation for the cairo context obtained from GtkPrintContext is set up in such a way that distances are measured in units of unit.

If true, the transformation for the cairo context obtained from GtkPrintContext puts the origin at the top left corner of the page (which may not be the top left corner of the sheet, depending on page orientation and the number of pages per sheet). Otherwise, the origin is at the top left corner of the imageable area (i.e. inside the margins).
