PrintPreview in landscape

[User (Old forums)]

#13931 |

Following the examples included in the documentation, I can print my grid.
I can instantiate a GridPrintDocument and use a PageSetupDialog to allow the user to specify printing in landscape orientation. Or, I can use the grid’s PrintPreview method to preview the grid before it’s printed, but only in Portrait mode.

Is there any way to preview the grid the way it is going to be printed? And isn’t that the definition of the word “preview”? I want the user to be able to select landscape or portrait mode and then see a preview of the print job as it will actually appear before sending the job to the printer.

Is this possible?

Here’s how you could do it (code has not been tested):<code>using(PrintPreviewDialog dlg = new PrintPreviewDialog()) {
dlg.Document = doc; // doc = your GridPrintDocument
dlg.ShowDialog(form); // form = your main Form (or null)
}</code>

Excellent suggestion, it works when I test it. Thanks!
