How to close a popup window *only after* the user prints the screen

[DotNetter]

I have a popup window. On PageLoad, it executes the following:

Page.RegisterStartupScript("PrintCalendar", "<script language=""javascript"">" & System.Environment.NewLine & "window.print();" & System.Environment.NewLine & "</script>")

How can I close the window (using JavaScript, presumably) only after the user actually prints the screen (i.e. clicks the resulting "print" button")? When I tried to do a

Page.RegisterStartupScript("ClosePopup", "<script language=""javascript"">self.close()</script>")

immediately after the [tt]Window.print[/tt], it did not close...

Thanks very much!

I'm not sure if you can as I don't think that window.print will return a status to say whether it was successful or not. Try asking in the javascript forum.

Thanks, I've continued this thread in the Javascript forum, as you suggested: thread216-1064145

Does anyone know how to actually implement in VB.NET what BillyRayPreachersSon wrote in thread216-1064145? It sounds like a solution - but I don't know how to do it...

VB or ASP.NET you wanted to say?

ASP.NET

Sorry - I didn't mean to make this into a double-post. Let's continue this in thread216-1064145...

Thanks much,
