Link.ShowRibbonPreview(UserLookAndFeel) Method

Invokes the Ribbon Print Preview form with the document created from this link, using the specified look and feel settings.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraPrinting

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraPrinting.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Win.Printing

#Declaration

public void ShowRibbonPreview(
    UserLookAndFeel lookAndFeel
)

#Parameters

Name Type Description
lookAndFeel UserLookAndFeel

A UserLookAndFeel object which specifies the look and feel settings applied to the Ribbon Print Preview form.

#Remarks

Use the ShowRibbonPreview method to invoke the PrintPreviewRibbonFormEx form and show the Print Preview of the document created for this link.

If the link’s document has not been created yet (the Link.CreateDocument method has not been called for it), then calling the ShowRibbonPreview will create it first. Consequently, if a document was created prior to calling the ShowRibbonPreview method, and nothing was changed that may force its re-creation, the ShowRibbonPreview method does not re-create it, so you need to manually call the Link.CreateDocument method, if required.

The following image illustrates a Ribbon Print Preview form.
