CompositeLink.ShowPreviewDialog(IWin32Window) Method

Invokes the modal Print Preview form with the document created from this link.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraPrintingLinks

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraPrinting.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Win.Printing

#Declaration

public virtual void ShowPreviewDialog(
    IWin32Window owner
)

#Parameters

Name Type Description
owner IWin32Window

A IWin32Window object representing the parent window for this dialog.

#Remarks

If the link’s document has not yet been created (the CompositeLink.CreateDocument method has not been called for it), then calling the ShowPreviewDialog method will create it first.

Consequently, if a document was created prior to calling the ShowPreviewDialog method, and nothing was changed that may force its re-creation, the ShowPreviewDialog method does not re-create it, so you need to manually call the CompositeLink.CreateDocument method to apply the document changes.

For more information, see Print Preview.
