Detect Cancellation of Printing

wbochtler · September 2025

For logging purposes, I need to be able to detect whether a call to Report.Print()/Report.PrintPrepared() was aborted by the user by clicking the "Cancel" button in the FastReport print dialog.

Any advice on how to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Hello!

Print() and PrintPrepared() do not return a result, but we have a built-in method that displays the same print dialogue and indicates whether the user clicked ‘Print’ or cancelled:

if (!report.Prepare()) return;

if (report.ShowPrintDialog(out var printerSettings))
{
report.PrintPrepared(printerSettings);
_log.Info(‘Printing has started’);
}
else
{
_log.Info(‘Printing cancelled by the user’);
}
