Functions for wxPrintDialog class

## NAME

wxPrintDialog - Functions for wxPrintDialog class

## DESCRIPTION

This class represents the print and print setup common dialogs. You may obtain a *wxPrinterDC* (not implemented in wx) device context from a successfully dismissed print dialog.

See: Overview printing, Overview cmndlg

This class is derived (and can use functions) from: *wxDialog* *wxTopLevelWindow* *wxWindow* *wxEvtHandler*

wxWidgets docs: wxPrintDialog

## DATA TYPES

```
wxPrintDialog() = wx:wx_object()
```

## EXPORTS

```
new(Parent) -> wxPrintDialog()
```

Types:

Parent = wxWindow:wxWindow()\

```
new(Parent, Options :: [Option]) -> wxPrintDialog()
```

```
new(Parent, Data) -> wxPrintDialog()
```

Types:

Parent = wxWindow:wxWindow()\
 Data = wxPrintData:wxPrintData()\

```
destroy(This :: wxPrintDialog()) -> ok
```

Destructor.

If *getPrintDC/1* has not been called, the device context obtained by the dialog (if any) will be deleted.

```
getPrintDialogData(This) -> wxPrintDialogData:wxPrintDialogData()
```

Types:

This = wxPrintDialog()\

Returns the print dialog data associated with the print dialog.

```
getPrintDC(This) -> wxDC:wxDC()
```

Types:

This = wxPrintDialog()\

Returns the device context created by the print dialog, if any.

When this function has been called, the ownership of the device context is transferred to the application, so it must then be deleted explicitly.
