In order to allow you users to select the printer and page settings you must use the PageSetupDialog component provided by Microsoft and create a new instance of the GridPrintDocument class.
Demonstration
The following example demonstrates how to allow your users to select the printer and page settings when printing the grid. It assumes that you have a PageSetupDialog component on your form.
| VB.NET |
 Copy Code |
|
' Allow the user to select the page settings and the printer
Dim oPrintDoc As New Xceed.Grid.GridPrintDocument(GridControl1)
PageSetupDialog1.PageSettings = oPrintDoc.DefaultPageSettings
If PageSetupDialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
oPrintDoc.DefaultPageSettings = PageSetupDialog1.PageSettings
Dim x As New PrintDialog()
x.Document = PageSetupDialog1.Document
If x.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
oPrintDoc.PrinterSettings = x.PrinterSettings
oPrintDoc.Print()
End If
End If
|
| C# |
Copy Code |
|
// Allow the user to select the page settings and the printer
Xceed.Grid.GridPrintDocument oPrintDoc = new Xceed.Grid.GridPrintDocument( gridControl1 );
pageSetupDialog1.PageSettings = oPrintDoc.DefaultPageSettings;
if( pageSetupDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK )
{
oPrintDoc.DefaultPageSettings = PageSetupDialog1.PageSettings;
PrintDialog x = new PrintDialog();
x.Document = pageSetupDialog1.Document;
if( x.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK )
{
oPrintDoc.PrinterSettings = x.PrinterSettings;
oPrintDoc.Print();
}
}

Keep in mind that if you call the grid's Print or PrintPreview methods, the grid will always be printed with the default print document.
