copied!<p>Taking the hint from the comment added to my question, I did this: </p> <pre><code>private string _previewWindowXaml = @"<Window xmlns ='http://schemas.microsoft.com/netfx/2007/xaml/presentation' xmlns:x ='http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml' Title ='Print Preview - @@TITLE' Height ='200' Width ='300' WindowStartupLocation ='CenterOwner'> <DocumentViewer Name='dv1'/> </Window>"; internal void DoPreview(string title) { string fileName = System.IO.Path.GetRandomFileName(); FlowDocumentScrollViewer visual = (FlowDocumentScrollViewer)(_parent.FindName("fdsv1")); try { // write the XPS document using (XpsDocument doc = new XpsDocument(fileName, FileAccess.ReadWrite)) { XpsDocumentWriter writer = XpsDocument.CreateXpsDocumentWriter(doc); writer.Write(visual); } // Read the XPS document into a dynamically generated // preview Window using (XpsDocument doc = new XpsDocument(fileName, FileAccess.Read)) { FixedDocumentSequence fds = doc.GetFixedDocumentSequence(); string s = _previewWindowXaml; s = s.Replace("@@TITLE", title.Replace("'", "&apos;")); using (var reader = new System.Xml.XmlTextReader(new StringReader(s))) { Window preview = System.Windows.Markup.XamlReader.Load(reader) as Window; DocumentViewer dv1 = LogicalTreeHelper.FindLogicalNode(preview, "dv1") as DocumentViewer; dv1.Document = fds as IDocumentPaginatorSource; preview.ShowDialog(); } } } finally { if (File.Exists(fileName)) { try { File.Delete(fileName); } catch { } } } } </code></pre> <p>What it does: it actually prints the content of a visual into an XPS document. Then it loads the "printed" XPS document and displays it in a very simple XAML file that is stored as a string, rather than as a separate module, and loaded dynamically at runtime. The resulting Window has the DocumentViewer buttons: print, adjust-to-max-page-width, and so on. </p> <p>I also added some code to hide the Search box. See <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2322727/wpf-how-can-i-remove-the-searchbox-in-a-documentviewer/2323275#2323275">this answer to <em>WPF: How can I remove the searchbox in a DocumentViewer?</em></a> for how I did that.</p> <p>The effect is like this: </p> <p><a href="http://i48.tinypic.com/2hzkfat.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer">alt text http://i48.tinypic.com/2hzkfat.jpg</a></p> <p>The XpsDocument can be found in the ReachFramework dll and the XpsDocumentWriter can be found in the System.Printing dll both of which must be added as references to the project</p>
