SchedulerControl.ShowPrintPreview() Method

Opens the Print Preview window for the Scheduler control.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraScheduler

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraScheduler.v19.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public void ShowPrintPreview()

VB.NET

Public Sub ShowPrintPreview

Remarks

The Print Preview window displays the scheduler as it will appear when it’s printed. The scheduler can be previewed and printed only if the XtraPrinting Library is available. To verify that printing and previewing the scheduler is possible, use the SchedulerControl.IsPrintingAvailable property.

The Print Preview dialog allows printing and saving to a file in PDF or one of the image formats.

To specify print options, invoke the Page Setup Dialog, modify SchedulerControl.PrintStyles or create a custom SchedulerPrintStyle.
