Print only selected frame

[criddell]

When the document is composed of multiple frames (or iframes) and the user right clicks in a frame and selects print, I would expect to be able to print just the frame for which the context menu is displayed.

The old web browser control had a combo box in the print preview window where you could select:

• as laid out on screen
• only the selected frame
• all frames individually

@criddell Context menu for print in iframe prints whole document not just iframe (This is not supported in edge browser so webview doesn't). But window.print() inside JS in iframe prints just iframe. Try printing programmatically and see if it works for your case.

@monica-ch I was able to bring up the print UI for the iframe by following your suggestion, so thanks for that. I ended up removing Print from the context menu and the ctrl-p / shift-ctrl-p accelerators because they don’t do what our users will expect.

I’ve also started playing with the experimental print API and it is almost exactly what I want except… you can’t print an iframe with it. Extending the new print API to work with an iframe would be very helpful.

@criddell Glad it worked for you. Current Print API prints the whole document per design.

I've added this to our backlog to support printing an iFrame.
