print multiple panel from JTabbedPane

[koddy]

Hallo,

I have a problem by printing a multiple panel from a JTabbedPane.
Say that I have 2 TabbedPanel and I have a print-button at the main panel.
I can write the code for printing the visible Panel or any of one panel, but what I want is actually with one Print-button, I can print both of the panels on different pages.

I try to change the code like this, but what I get is 2 print of panel2. (Panel1 is just overwrited by panel2).

    private class  PrintListener  implements ActionListener
    {
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt)
        {
            PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob(); //Get the printer's job list
            PageFormat pageFormat = job.defaultPage();
            job.setPrintable(new Printable()
            { //We print with this class (btnPrintAction, which implements Printable)
                public int print(Graphics graphics, PageFormat pageFormat, int pageIndex) throws PrinterException
                {
                    if (pageIndex >= 2)
                    {
                        return Printable.NO_SUCH_PAGE;
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) graphics;
                        g2d.translate(pageFormat.getImageableX(), pageFormat.getImageableY());

                        Paper paper = new Paper();
                        paper.setSize(585, 832);
                        paper.setImageableArea(0, 0, 585, 832);
                        view.panel1.print(graphics);
                        view.panel2.print(graphics);
                        return Printable.PAGE_EXISTS;
                    }
                }
        });

Can anyone help me, so I can print both panel1 and panel2 with one click?

thank you very much

Emm...

view.panel1.print(graphics);
view.panel2.print(graphics);

the graphics object should be declared with your both panels

something like a

view.panel1.print(panel1.getGraphics());
view.panel2.print(panel2.getGraphics());

because you need not a default panel graphics but separate ones =)

But I am not sure because you don't provide the whole piece of code here.

Thank firstly for the answer.

I tried the solution of yours

view.panel1.print(view.panel1.getGraphics());
view.panel2.print(view.panel2.getGraphics());

and it didn´t work. What I get now is 2 blank papers.

well I don´t provide the whole code, since I think my question is a general question.
Basicly my question is, how to print multiple panels on multiple pages.

any other solutions?

Thank you again in advance
:)

Wrong. And never use getGraphics() of a Component in client code. That way lies grief.

I can say wrong too :P without seeing the whole thing

the author is showing just a piece of code so maybe there should be another decision

Do you have any other solutions?
