    Is it possible to add controls to the print dialog

    Hi Guys,

    I want to add a textbox to a printdialog control. basically when a user prints, they must enter their name into a textbox on the Printdialog Control. I will then log the name to a database.

    Please advise.

    Not possible, or at least not without looking into an unmanaged solution that would be messy and brittle. Better to display your TextBox on another dialogue and show the PrintDialog from that.
