Printing Basics

All printable DevExpress .NET controls are printed with methods provided by the XtraPrinting Library.

To determine if preview and print options are available, check the control’s IsPrintingAvailable property value. Use the ShowPrintPreview and ShowRibbonPrintPreview methods to display the Print Preview window. Use the Print and PrintDialog methods to print the contents without showing a preview.

 

Note

Custom painting, alpha blending and color gradient features are not supported when printing a control.
