Specifies whether to create a document automatically, or on a user request. This is a dependency property.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Printing

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

Declaration

C#

public bool RequestDocumentCreation { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property RequestDocumentCreation As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Description
Boolean	true, to create a document automatically; otherwise, false.

Remarks

When the preview’s DocumentViewerControl.DocumentSource property is specified and the RequestDocumentCreation property is enabled, the document is automatically created every time the DocumentPreviewControl is initialized. If the RequestDocumentCreation property is set to false, the document is created by calling the CreateDocument method of the preview’s document source object.
