the best answer of the year. i dont know about .... printing to console or somewhere else, if you can read, its called "printDocument", but maybe is better first to read and then answer.

don't waste your engergy (=discontent) in fighting against someone,
use it to solve your problem instead!

this is only normal question in time, everytime i post question then i making solutions by self and in almost all times i make solution faster by myself (its better and good for learning), but this question about printDocument, because i found only C# examples but in C++ it's don't work, for sure i change syntax from C# (.) to C++ (->) but still have problem with e->Graphics.... to format string into print document.

you are welcome. I know how frustrating coding can be...

Is this link your usefull for your purposes:

because i found only C# examples but in C++ it's don't work, for sure i change syntax from C# (.) to C++ (->) but still have problem with e->Graphics.... to format string into print document.

Can you show the c# code and your translation.

For example:

private: System::Void button_printpreview_Click(System::Object^  sender, EventArgs^ e, PrintPageEventArgs^ ev) {
		if (richTextBox_text->Text == "")
		{
			MessageBox::Show("Obsah nemoze byt prazdny");
		}
		else
		{
			printFont = gcnew System::Drawing::Font("Arial", 10);
			ev->Graphics->DrawString("test string", printFont, Brushes::Black, ev->MarginBounds.Left, 0.0, gcnew StringFormat);
			
			printPreviewDialog1->ShowDialog();
		}
	}

but i can't use PrintPageEventArgs^ ev in button because then i have error onClick event : http://prntscr.com/b86mfu

but i can't use PrintPageEventArgs^ ev in button

Normally the printing is done in the PrintPage(object sender^, PrintPageEventArgs^ e) event of the PrintDocument

[BAILANDO]

and when i need printpreview first? how can i achieve this? first i need format strings and images for printing and after this i can use preview and then print, or its little different?

There is a PrintPreviewDialog in the toolbox.
