Example

To make the PrintTool.PrintDialog method invoke the standard system Print dialog, add the following code to the application’s Program.cs unit (Program.vb in Visual Basic).

This will replace the DefaultPrintDialogRunner, returned by the PrintDialogRunner.Instance property, with a SystemPrintDialogRunner.

using DevExpress.XtraPrinting.Preview;
// ...

static void Main(string[] args) {
    PrintDialogRunner.Instance = new SystemPrintDialogRunner();
    // ...
}
