DataGridLink.ShowPreview() Method

Invokes the Print Preview Form which shows the print preview of the document for this link.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraPrintingLinks

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraPrinting.v23.2.dll

NuGet Packages: DevExpress.Win.Navigation, DevExpress.Win.Printing

Declaration

public virtual void ShowPreview()

Remarks

Use the ShowPreview method to invoke the PrintPreviewFormEx form and show the print preview of the document created for this link. Note that if the link’s document hasn’t been created (the DataGridLink.CreateDocument method hasn’t been called for it), then calling the ShowPreview method will create it first.

Consequently, if a document was created prior to calling the ShowPreview method, and nothing was changed that may force its re-creation, the ShowPreview method doesn’t re-create it, so you need to manually call the DataGridLink.CreateDocument method, if required.

For more information, refer to Document Viewer and Document Viewer Toolbars.
