Hi,
In my application built on Scout 9, I would like to add a button that triggers a printout of the field content, that inherits from AbstractHtmlField or AbstractImageField.

Is there any simple method to get something like this?

Hi Krzysztof

I can't think of a simple method to do that out-of-the-box. Since printing happens in the context of the browser (and not the Java UI server) you need to have some kind of a custom widget (button) which triggers window.print(). You could use a @ModelVariant to create an instance of a PrintButton.js (extends Button.js) in the UI which does that.

In order to print out only a specific field, you could work with CSS classes and media queries. Give that field that must be on the printout a specific CSS class like "myapp-printable", and in your CSS/LESS file make everything invisible for "print" _except_ elements which have that CSS class.

Cheers,
André
