Prima::...tDialog(3)

🎀 NAME 🎀

Prima::Dialog::PrintDialog — standard printer setup dialog.

This is the Prima::...tDialog(3) page, bestie, and it's giving “let's pick a printer” energy. 🖨️✨

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so Prima::Dialog::PrintDialog provides the standard dialog that lets the user select the printer and its options. 💖

Real talk: the toolkit does not provide the in-depth management of the printer options. Nope, not here. That can only be accessed by executing the printer-specific setup window, which is called by the Prima::Printer::setup_dialog method. The class invokes this method when the user presses the 'Properties' button. 👑 Otherwise, the class provides only selection from the printer list.

When the dialog finishes successfully, the selected printer is set as current by setting the Prima::Printer::printer property. This technique allows direct use of the user-selected printer and its properties without prior knowledge of the selection process. Slay — no cap, that's the whole vibe. 🌈

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

               use Prima qw(Dialog::PrintDialog Application);

               my $dlg = Prima::Dialog::PrintDialog-> new;
               if ( $dlg-> execute) {
                       my $p = $dlg-> printer;
                       if ( $p-> begin_doc ) {
                               $p-> text_out( 'Hello world', 10, 10);
                               $p-> end_doc;
                       }
               }
               $dlg-> destroy;

Like, literally copy-paste this and you're in business. 💅
