[JScript] In JScript, you can handle the events defined by a class, but you cannot define your own.
The event handler receives an argument of type PrintEventArgs containing data related to this event. The following PrintEventArgs property provides information specific to this event.
|Cancel (inherited from CancelEventArgs)||Gets or sets a value indicating whether the event should be canceled.|
Typically, you handle the BeginPrint event to initialize fonts, file streams, and other resources used during the printing process.
To associate the event with your event handler, add an instance of the PrintEventHandler delegate to the event. The event handler is called whenever the event occurs. For more information about handling events with delegates, see Events and Delegates.
