Why is this flowdocument table always printing 2 columns

I guess the best way to get an answer is to give up and ask, then you find it yourself.

The issue was in the line to print the pages, not the flowdoc itself. By default they print with 2 columns. The corrected code is (this also deals with the margin and printable area):

PrintDialog printDialog = new PrintDialog();

if (printDialog.ShowDialog() == true)
{

    FlowDocument flowDoc = statusBoardViewModel.GetPrintDocument();

    flowDoc.PageHeight = printDialog.PrintableAreaHeight;
    flowDoc.PageWidth = printDialog.PrintableAreaWidth;
    flowDoc.PagePadding = new Thickness(25);

    flowDoc.ColumnGap = 0;

    flowDoc.ColumnWidth = (flowDoc.PageWidth - 
                           flowDoc.ColumnGap - 
                           flowDoc.PagePadding.Left -  
                           flowDoc.PagePadding.Right);

    printDialog.PrintDocument(((IDocumentPaginatorSource)flowDoc)
                             .DocumentPaginator,
                             "Task Manager Print Job");

}

By the way I found this in Matthew MacDonald's "Pro WPF in C# 2008" which I highly recommend.


Thanks for the info. I fixed it by just setting the columnwidth like:

flowDoc.ColumnWidth = pageSize.Width

FYI don't ever try to get help from netframeworkdev or .Net Framework Develop b/c they never have good answers. I wish my search engine would have pointed me at StackOverflow instead of that worthless site. StackOverflow always has the answers. :) Thanks again.

(Wish you could just block sites from ever showing in your search results, you know how to do that please tell me.)
