Namespace: DevExpress.XtraPrinting

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraPrinting.v24.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public void ShowRibbonPreviewDialog(
    UserLookAndFeel lookAndFeel
)

VB.NET

Public Sub ShowRibbonPreviewDialog(
    lookAndFeel As UserLookAndFeel
)

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