How to create a Print Preview Dialog for a method

LT-K101

@JonB Well the Valentina report is written with Qt I have been able to integrate with PyQt5. The developers have not written a Dialog for the print method yet, when I asked I was told I can use pyQt5 to create a custom Dialog so I was hoping QPrintPreviewDialog will do the magic for me. Below is the image they suggested it could be done using pyqt.

Is it really that hard to provide a link to this thing if you want help with it, after being asked to do so several times? I just don't get why you don't....

A custom dialog to invite the user to print is not the same thing as a QPrintPreviewDialog to allow previewing of the output.

@JonB Well even creating a custom Dialog is my headache now.Any assistance please?

Seriously, in what way? Create a QDialog to ask the user if they want to print, whether to file or physical printer? And/or maybe a QFileDialog to let the user pick a file/location to save to?

Or maybe that inbuilt Windows Print dialog is all user needs anyway, seems to offer print to printer or to file?

Creating the a Dialog to offer print to printer or to file which will connect to my print method is what I need please.

You write a dialog to ask the user whether they want to print and if they say yes you call printToLocalPrinter() or printToDisk() or similar. I'm not writing that for you, it's a dialog, I have no idea what your issue is. You also already have a printReport() shown earlier which does a getSaveFileName() and calls printToDisk(filename), so I don't know what your problem is.
