V25.1
  • SpreadsheetCompatibilityOptions.EnableLegacyPrintLayout Property

    Allows you to use the legacy mechanism to generate a document printout. This is a dependency property.

    Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Spreadsheet

    Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Spreadsheet.v25.1.dll

    NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Spreadsheet

    Declaration

    public bool EnableLegacyPrintLayout { get; set; }

    Property Value

    Type Description
    Boolean

    true to disable enhanced printout generation; otherwise, false. The default value is false.

    Property Paths

    You can access this nested property as listed below:

    Object Type Path to EnableLegacyPrintLayout
    SpreadsheetControlOptions
    .Compatibility .EnableLegacyPrintLayout

    Remarks

    In v20.2, we improved row height and column width calculation for printed workbooks in our WPF Spreadsheet. The resulting printout now resembles the print output of Microsoft® Excel®.

    This option is only available when you use the new layout calculation engine (the EnableLegacyLayoutEngine property is false).

    If you upgrade your application to DevExpress v20.2 or later, a printed document’s layout can change. You can activate the EnableLegacyPrintLayout property to revert to the legacy algorithm.
