How to customize the print preview dialog in WinForms GridGroupingControl?
Customize the print preview dialog
Print preview dialog can be customized by creating a new form like print preview dialog window in WinForms GridGroupingControl. In the code sample, the print document GridPrintDoc has been derived from GridPrintDocumentAdv and drawing of the grid will be performed using DrawGrid method.
C#
rectToPrintGrid = new Rectangle(eventArgs.MarginBounds.Left, intOffset, intGridWidth, intGridHeight);
//draw the grid in print preview pages
_grid.DrawGrid(eventArgs.Graphics, rectToPrintGrid, false, false);
private void PrintPreview_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
//GridPrintDoc is derived from the Syncfusion.GridHelperClasses.GridPrintDocumentAdv
GridPrintDoc pd = new GridPrintDoc(this.gridGroupingControl1.TableControl);
frm = new PreviewDialog(this.gridGroupingControl1); //PreviewDialog is derived from the Form
frm.document = pd;
frm.ShowDialog();
if (frm.PageSetting == null)
{
return;
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show("Error while print preview" + ex.ToString());
}
}
VB
rectToPrintGrid = New Rectangle(eventArgs.MarginBounds.Left, intOffset, intGridWidth, intGridHeight)
'draw the grid in print preview pages
_grid.DrawGrid(eventArgs.Graphics, rectToPrintGrid, False, False)
Private Sub PrintPreview_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles PrintPreview.Click
Try
'GridPrintDoc is derived from the Syncfusion.GridHelperClasses.GridPrintDocumentAdv
Dim pd As GridPrintDoc = Nothing
pd = New GridPrintDoc(Me.gridGroupingControl1.TableControl)
'PreviewDialog is derived from the Form
frm = New PreviewDialog(Me.gridGroupingControl1)
frm.grouping_grid = Me.gridGroupingControl1
frm.document = pd
frm.ShowDialog()
If frm.PageSetting Is Nothing Then
Return
End If
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show("Error while print preview" & ex.ToString())
End Try
End Sub
