Remarks

By default, a printed LayoutControl utilizes the same item appearances as when they are displayed on screen. However, in the default printing mode (when OptionsPrintControl.OldPrinting is disabled), you can specify item print appearance settings, which are only used when items are printed and exported.

A layout item’s AppearanceItemCaption property allows you to customize the print appearance settings of a specific item. A group’s AppearanceItemCaption settings are propagated to all its nested items. In addition, you can customize the print appearance settings of all layout item captions in a centralized way using the LayoutControl’s OptionsPrintControl.AppearanceItemCaption property.

The AppearanceItemCaption property is not supported if the OptionsPrintControl.OldPrinting property is set to true.
