Initializes a new instance of the BookmarkNode class with the specified text, and for the specified pair of a brick and a page.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraPrinting

Assembly: DevExpress.Printing.v24.2.Core.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Printing.Core

Declaration

C#

public BookmarkNode(
    string text,
    BrickPagePair bpPair
)

VB.NET

Public Sub New(
    text As String,
    bpPair As BrickPagePair
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
text	String	A String specifying the bookmark’s text which will be shown in the document map. This value is assigned to the BookmarkNode.Text property.
bpPair	BrickPagePair	A BrickPagePair object representing the brick-page pair, associated with the current bookmark. This value is assigned to the BookmarkNode.Pair property.

Example

This example illustrates how to make Print Preview display a Document Map listing all bookmarks assigned to a Document‘s elements.

The following code adds five bricks to the Detail section of a document and then assigns bookmarks to each brick.

Note that the Document Map button is automatically enabled in Print Preview when a displayed document has any bookmarks.
