Manage the Print Progress

  • 2 minutes to read

Handle the following events to track the printing progress and change the printing settings at runtime:

  • XtraReport.PrintProgress

    This event occurs before document pages are sent to a printer. You can obtain information about the current printing progress and access the current page index and other page settings in the event handler.

    Handle this event to perform any specific operations before printing each page, for instance, reflect the current printing state using the ProgressBarEdit control. You can also use the PrintProgressEventArgs.PageSettings property to change a printed page’s settings as shown below.

        report.PrintProgress += Report_PrintProgress;
        PrintHelper.Print(report);
    }
