Printer-Friendly CSS and Print Preview in MOSS 2007

This post was driven by a request I recently received to add a Print Preview button on a SharePoint page. When clicked, the Print Preview button will popup a window without any SharePoint navigational elements.

I decided to create a separate CSS file (called PrintPreview.css) to overwrite the following MOSS CSS classes:

/* Hide MOSS Globa Links, title, banner and Top Nav area */
.ms-globalTitleArea {display:none;}
.ms-globalbreadcrumb {display:none;}
.ms-bannerContainer {display:none;}

/* Hide MOSS Page Title area */
.ms-TitleAreaFrame {display:none;}
.ms-titlearealeft {display:none;}
.ms-titlearea {display:none;}
.ms-pagetitle {display:none;}

/* Hide MOSS Bottom area */
.ms-pagebottommarginleft {display:none;}
.ms-pagebottommargin {display:none;}
.ms-bodyareapagemargin {display:none;}
.ms-pagebottommarginright {display:none;}

/* Hide MOSS quick launch area */
.ms-navframe {display:none;}
.ms-pagemargin {display:none;}

/* Hide MOSS Editor tool bar menu to prevent user from editing a comment*/
.ms-rtetoolbarmenu {display:none;}

/* Remove border from MOSS body area */
.ms-bodyareaframe {border:none 0px;}

Since the Print Preview button was going to be added to an existing User Control (wrapped in a Web Part), I then added the following JavaScript code to the markup page of each user control. Doing so will also allow you to hide specific elements you might not want to be displayed in the print preview window:

    //Function to print Web Part
    function PrintPreview() {
        var sUrl = window.location.href + ‘&PrintPreview=true’;

        if (window.location.href.indexOf(‘?’) == -1) {
            sUrl = window.location.href + ‘?PrintPreview=true’;
        }

window.open(sUrl, “_blank”, “width=800,height=600,resizable=1,toolbar=1,status=1,titlebar=1,menubar=1″, true);
}

    if (window.location.href.indexOf(“PrintPreview=true”) > -1) {
         //This is where you can hide custom elements by ID or name
         //For example here is the code to hide a command button with an ID of “button1″
        document.getElementById(‘button1′).style.display = ‘none’;

        //Load PrintPreview CSS
        SetPrinterFriendlyCSS();
    }

    function SetPrinterFriendlyCSS() {
        document.write(‘<link type=”text/css” href=”/_layouts/Customer/Application/PrintPreview.css” rel=”stylesheet” />’);
    }

</script>

To hide specific custom elements on your page, you could also add a “noprint” class attribute to each element you do not want to be rendered in the print preview mode. The not print class will be added to the PrintPreview.css file:

/* Add NoPrint class to the original markup */
.noprint {display:none;}

The last technique will be to overwrite the class attribute used by the element you are trying to hide:

/* Hide right column to hide custom action buttons in CustomXXX.ascx*/
.col_actions {display:none;}

Wrapping a User Control in a Web Part

This article demonstrates how to wrap a custom User Control in a Web Part and deploy it as a feature using WSPBuilder (http://www.codeplex.com/wspbuilder).

This article assumes you have some basic knowledge about WSPBuilder and how to deploy SharePoint assemblies as solution packages (wsp).

Solution Overview

The solution architecture consists of the following two projects:

A WSPBuilder Project using the Visual Studio project template installed during the setup of WSPBuilder. This project will allow us to create the wsp file to be loaded in the SharePoint solutions store.
A classic ASP.Net Web Application Project to create our user control. We will create custom post-build scripts to copy the user control to the CONTROLTEMPLATES sub-folder created in the WSPBuilder project.

Please download the white paper here.
