Invokes the Print dialog and prints the current chart.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Charts

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Charts.v24.2.dll

#Remarks

This method displays the standard Print dialog, which allows an end-user to print the chart, as well as select the printer (if required), specify the range of pages to print, the number of copies, etc.

To print the document immediately without invoking any dialogs, use the ChartControlBase.PrintDirect method.

To display the DevExpress Document Preview, use one of the following methods.

To export the chart, use the appropriate ExportTo~ method (e.g., ChartControlBase.ExportToHtml, ChartControlBase.ExportToPdf, etc.)

Important

The chart can be previewed, printed and exported only if the DXPrinting Library is available. Make sure you add a reference to the DevExpress.Xpf.Printing.v24.2 assembly.
