DocumentPreviewWindow Class

A window containing a Print Preview.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Printing

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Printing.v17.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public class DocumentPreviewWindow :
    DXWindow,
    IComponentConnector

VB.NET

Public Class DocumentPreviewWindow
    Inherits DXWindow
    Implements IComponentConnector

Remarks

To display a default Print Preview without creating a custom preview window, use the methods of the PrintHelper class.

To create a custom Print Preview window, assign a corresponding XtraReport or link to the DocumentViewerControl.DocumentSource property (available via the DocumentPreviewWindow.PreviewControl property).

C#

using DevExpress.Xpf.Printing;
using System.Windows;
// ...

private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) {
    XtraReport1 report = new XtraReport1();
    var window = new DocumentPreviewWindow();
    window.PreviewControl.DocumentSource = report;
    report.CreateDocument();
    window.Show();
}

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.Xpf.Printing
Imports System.Windows
' ...

Private Sub Button_Click(sender As Object, e As RoutedEventArgs)
    Dim report As New XtraReport1()
    Dim window = New DocumentPreviewWindow()
    window.PreviewControl.DocumentSource = report
    report.CreateDocument()
    window.Show()
End Sub

Make sure to call the XtraReport.CreateDocument method before displaying the Print Preview.
