Draw Image

[Yu]

Hi,

 

Does GridDataControl has a method doing the same as the DrawToBitmap method of the winform's GridGroupingControl?

 

Thanks

Hi Yu,

We are sorry for Delay causes,

No, GridDataControl does not have the method named as DrawToBitmap . Could you please tell me  which scenario do you want to use this method? If you share your exact scenario, We would suggest alternate way to achieve your requirement.

 Please let us know if you have any queries,

Regards,

Hi,

Thanks for reply.

The requirement is to provide an email function to email the snapshot image of the grid. When user clicks a toolbar button, an email client will be opened and the snapshot image of the grid will be attached.

Is there a better alternative?

Thanks

Hi Yu,

We are able to convert the only the visible part of the grid to image, we have created a sample for converting visible part of the grid to image, using RenderTargetBitmap class. Please refer the below code snippet for this

private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

{

    RenderTargetBitmap targetBitmap =

    new RenderTargetBitmap((int)datagrid.ActualWidth,

                    (int)datagrid.ActualHeight,

                    96d, 96d,

                    PixelFormats.Default);

    targetBitmap.Render(datagrid);

 

    // add the RenderTargetBitmap to a Bitmapencoder

    BmpBitmapEncoder encoder = new BmpBitmapEncoder();

    encoder.Frames.Add(BitmapFrame.Create(targetBitmap));

 

    // save file to disk

    FileStream fs = File.Open("Grid.bmp", FileMode.OpenOrCreate);

    encoder.Save(fs);

}

We have attached the sample in the below link for your reference, please refer it.
