// Displays the Print Preview dialog box.
void MenuItemFilePrintPreview_Click( System::Object^ /*sender*/, System::EventArgs^ /*e*/ )
{
   this->WebBrowser1->ShowPrintPreviewDialog();
}

// Displays the Print Preview dialog box.
private void printPreviewToolStripMenuItem_Click(
    object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    webBrowser1.ShowPrintPreviewDialog();
}

' Displays the Print Preview dialog box.
Private Sub printPreviewToolStripMenuItem_Click( _
    ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) _
    Handles printPreviewToolStripMenuItem.Click

    webBrowser1.ShowPrintPreviewDialog()

End Sub

Remarks

You can use this method to implement a Print Preview menu item that is similar to the one on the Internet Explorer File menu. This method displays the Print Preview dialog box, which users see how the current document will appear if it is printed. To let your users specify page settings prior to printing, use the ShowPageSetupDialog method. To print the current document, use the Print method or the ShowPrintDialog method.
