Detect print action from JRViewer

[nockdg]

Hi,

 

We use the JRViewer class to display reports to users.

 

What we need to be able to do is detect if they have clicked print from here. Is this possible?

 

As btnPrintActionPerformed is not public we can't override it and still call the super code.

 

Thx

You can extend JRViewer and add another listener to btnPrint, which is protected.

Yep, that works nicely.

 

Is it then possible to detect that the user actually printed the report rather than canceling the print dialog?

 

Thx

You can do that as well if you use JR >= 2.0.5 by removing the default btnPrint action listener, and adding a different action listener that performs the printing via JRPrintServiceExporter instead of JasperPrintManager, and checks the print status via JRPrintServiceExporter.getPrintStatus().

 

HTH,

Lucian

Thanks for this, will give it a try.
