Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Visual Basic (Usage)
C#

Public Overloads Sub Print( _
   ByVal showDialog As Boolean _
)

Dim instance As GcMultiRow
Dim showDialog As Boolean
 
instance.Print(showDialog)

public void Print( 
   bool showDialog
)

Parameters

showDialog: Indicates whether to show the System.Windows.Forms.PrintDialog before printing. This allows the user to set print settings before printing.

Remarks

Print, PrintPreview, and PageSetup are a set of print methods. You can use them to implement the print function. The System.Windows.Forms.PrintDialog, System.Windows.Forms.PrintPreviewDialog, and System.Windows.Forms.PageSetupDialog allow the user to select print settings. The System.Drawing.Printing.PageSettings of the System.Windows.Forms.PageSetupDialog are shared for these methods.

You can change the PrintSettings property value to adjust the print effect.

Example

The following code example shows how to print GcMultiRow. Before printing the GcMultiRow control, set some PrintSettings, then execute the PrintPreview method to preview the effect, or execute the Print method to print directly to a printer. This example is part of a larger example for the GcMultiRow.PrintSettings class.

void setRichAndFlowButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Template template1 = CreateTemplate(3, 21);
            AddPrintInfoCellColumnFooterSection(template1, 21);
            this.gcMultiRow1.Template = template1;
            gcMultiRow1.RowCount = 50;

            //All UI elements are printed, like UpDown button.
            gcMultiRow1.PrintSettings.PrintStyle = PrintStyle.Rich;
            //All Rows are printed from the first page to the last page, one by one.
            gcMultiRow1.PrintSettings.PagingMode = PagingMode.Flow;
            //The GcMultiRow is aligned by MiddleLeft.
            gcMultiRow1.PrintSettings.Alignment = MultiRowContentAlignment.MiddleLeft;
            //Between every two Rows, there are 15 pixels.
            gcMultiRow1.PrintSettings.SectionMargin = 15;
