How to print the contents of the Grid to fit the width of the page in WinForms GridControl?

2 mins read

Printing

To print the contents of the grid to fit into the width of the page, it can be done by using GridPrintDocument without any page breaks. GridPrintToFitDocument can be used to print the document properly which is derived from the GridPrintDocument. To utilize this class, you need to add the GridHelperClasses.Windows.dll as reference.

C#

private void button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (this.gridControl1 != null)
    {
        try
        {
            //uses the default printer
            GridPrintToFitDocument pd = new GridPrintToFitDocument(this.gridControl1, true);
            PrintPreviewDialog dlg = new PrintPreviewDialog();
            dlg.Document = pd;
            pd.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = true;
            dlg.ShowDialog();
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("An error occurred attempting to preview the grid - " + ex.Message);
        }
    }
    if (this.gridControl1 != null)
    {
        try
        {
            GridPrintToFitDocument pd = new GridPrintToFitDocument(this.gridControl1, true);
            PrintDialog dlg = new PrintDialog();
            dlg.Document = pd;
            pd.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = true;
            if (dlg.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
                pd.Print();
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("An error occurred attempting to print the grid - " + ex.Message);
        }
    }
}

 

VB

Private Sub button3_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles button3.Click
 If Me.gridControl1 IsNot Nothing Then
  Try
   'uses the default printer
   Dim pd As New GridPrintToFitDocument(Me.gridControl1, True)
   Dim dlg As New PrintPreviewDialog()
   dlg.Document = pd
   pd.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = True
   dlg.ShowDialog()
  Catch ex As Exception
   MessageBox.Show("An error occurred attempting to preview the grid - " & ex.Message)
  End Try
 End If
 If Me.gridControl1 IsNot Nothing Then
  Try
   Dim pd As New GridPrintToFitDocument(Me.gridControl1, True)
   Dim dlg As New PrintDialog()
   dlg.Document = pd
   pd.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = True
   If dlg.ShowDialog() = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
    pd.Print()
   End If
  Catch ex As Exception
   MessageBox.Show("An error occurred attempting to print the grid - " & ex.Message)
  End Try
 End If
End Sub
