GridPrintDocument : Barcode Reading problem

[Gert]

Hi All,

I have following problem :

I need to print a list of barcodes using gridcontrol.
I use the font 3 of 9.
The problem is that when printing, all fonts inside cells are printed slightly smaller than then they should use to be.
Thus my barcodes are printed smaller and can not be read by the device. Increasing fontsize does't help. It seems that trough printing the font gets changed and de barcode gets unreadable.

Printing the barcode in the PrintPage event,
works fine.
e.Graphics.DrawString("*7622200161942*", new Font("3 of 9 Barcode", 18f), new SolidBrush(Color.Black), new PointF(50, 50));

The barcode printed in the 'PrintPage event' are ok and readable. The barcodes in gridcells are slightly smaller (same font,size,..) and won'twork


Any suggestions ?

thx
Gert

Hi Gert,

One way you can do this by handling the DrawCellDisplayText event and use e.Graphics.DrawString method to draw barcode in a grid cell. Please try the below code and let me know if this helps.

void gridControl1_DrawCellDisplayText(object sender, Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.GridDrawCellDisplayTextEventArgs e)
{
GridControl grid = sender as GridControl;
if (grid.PrintingMode)
{
e.Graphics.DrawString(e.DisplayText, new Font("3 of 9 Barcode", 18f), new SolidBrush(Color.Black), e.TextRectangle.Location);
e.Cancel = true;
}
}

Best regards,
Haneef
