print grid with vertical scrollbar

[Irina]

Hi Clay,

Could you please help on the following:
How to print grid which has vertical scroll bar (so some rows are not visible on the screen)to display all rows on the paper.

Thanks

If you are printing a single grid, the default print support should page things so you get WYSIWYG output paging across serveral print pages if necessary. If you want to scale the grid down so it all fits on a single page, one way you can do it is shown in this sample. Grid\Samples\In Depth\PrintToFit

The thing is that I need to print five grids.
(two main grids, two their summaries and one grand tottal summary)
So far I tried print two - main and summary. But the main grid does not show all its rows although there is space on the paper. It shows those rows which are visible on the screen only.
How to fix that and where is the sample you mentioned?

Thanks

The PrintToFit sample is one of the installed samples shipped with the product. It is found in the Grid\Samples\In Depth\PrintToFit folder.

To print all the grid, you will have to enlarge the area you are allocating on the print page for the grid. Here is a link to a KB article that discusses printing two grid on one page. http://www.syncfusion.com/Support/article.aspx?id=10377

Thanks. It is Ok so far.

Also I have two other questions (databound grid):
1. How to get colindex by column name,
just opposite NameToColIndex

2.Is there additional way to improve performance of whole tabpage which displays 5 grids? I used Begin/End Update for each grid separately.

Thanks in advance

1)

 int field = this.gridDataBoundGrid1.Binder.ColIndexToField;
int name = this.gridDataBoundGrid1.GridBoundColumns[field].MappingName;
// or  int name = this.gridDataBoundGrid1.Binder.InternalColumns[field].MappingName;

2) If making bulk changes or adding or removing rows is what is slow, you can try calling grid.Binder.SuspendBinding/ResumeBinding.
