Namespace: DevExpress.XtraEditors.Repository

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraEditors.v19.1.dll

Declaration

C#

public virtual IVisualBrick GetBrick(
    PrintCellHelperInfo info
)

VB.NET

Public Overridable Function GetBrick(
    info As PrintCellHelperInfo
) As IVisualBrick

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
info	DevExpress.XtraEditors.PrintCellHelperInfo	A DevExpress.XtraEditors.PrintCellHelperInfo object that provides information on the editor’s state and appearance settings that will be used when the editor is printed.

Returns

Type	Description
DevExpress.XtraPrinting.IVisualBrick	An DevExpress.XtraPrinting.IVisualBrick object that provides information on how the current editor should be printed.

Remarks

This method is automatically invoked by the printing mechanism when a container control (XtraGrid, XtraTreeList, etc) that uses the current repository item is printed via the Printing System Library. Generally there is no need to call this method directly from your code.

You may need to override the GetBrick method if you create a custom editor and want it to be printed in a specific manner.
