enum QAbstractPrintDialog::PrintDialogOptionflags QAbstractPrintDialog::PrintDialogOptions

Used to specify which parts of the print dialog should be visible.

Constant	Value	Description
QAbstractPrintDialog::PrintToFile	0x0001	The print to file option is enabled.
QAbstractPrintDialog::PrintSelection	0x0002	The print selection option is enabled.
QAbstractPrintDialog::PrintPageRange	0x0004	The page range selection option is enabled.
QAbstractPrintDialog::PrintShowPageSize	0x0008	Show the page size + margins page only if this is enabled.
QAbstractPrintDialog::PrintCollateCopies	0x0010	The collate copies option is enabled
QAbstractPrintDialog::PrintCurrentPage	0x0040	The print current page option is enabled

The PrintDialogOptions type is a typedef for QFlags<PrintDialogOption>. It stores an OR combination of PrintDialogOption values.

enum QAbstractPrintDialog::PrintRange

Used to specify the print range selection option.

Constant	Value	Description
QAbstractPrintDialog::AllPages	0	All pages should be printed.
QAbstractPrintDialog::Selection	1	Only the selection should be printed.
QAbstractPrintDialog::PageRange	2	The specified page range should be printed.
QAbstractPrintDialog::CurrentPage	3	Only the currently visible page should be printed.

QAbstractPrintDialog::QAbstractPrintDialog(QPrinter *printer, QWidget *parent = nullptr)

Constructs an abstract print dialog for printer with parent as parent widget.

int QAbstractPrintDialog::fromPage() const

Returns the first page to be printed By default, this value is set to 0.

int QAbstractPrintDialog::maxPage() const

Returns the maximum page in the page range. As of Qt 4.4, this function returns INT_MAX by default. Previous versions returned 1 by default.

int QAbstractPrintDialog::minPage() const

Returns the minimum page in the page range. By default, this value is set to 1.

QAbstractPrintDialog::PrintRange QAbstractPrintDialog::printRange() const

Returns the print range.

See also setPrintRange().

QPrinter *QAbstractPrintDialog::printer() const

Returns the printer that this printer dialog operates on.

void QAbstractPrintDialog::setFromTo(int from, int to)

Sets the range in the print dialog to be from from to to.

void QAbstractPrintDialog::setMinMax(int min, int max)

Sets the page range in this dialog to be from min to max. This also enables the PrintPageRange option.

void QAbstractPrintDialog::setOptionTabs(const QList<QWidget *> &tabs)

Set a list of widgets as tabs to be shown on the print dialog, if supported.

Setting the option tabs will transfer their ownership to the print dialog.

void QAbstractPrintDialog::setPrintRange(QAbstractPrintDialog::PrintRange range)

Sets the print range option in to be range.
