Occurs after an XRControl object is displayed in the report.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraReports.UI

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraReports.v21.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Reporting.Core

C#

public virtual event EventHandler AfterPrint

VB.NET

Public Overridable Event AfterPrint As EventHandler

Event Data

The AfterPrint event's data class is EventArgs.

Remarks

You can handle the following events to access and customize a report control:

• XRControl.BeforePrint
• AfterPrint
• XRControl.PrintOnPage

The AfterPrint event is raised when a control is already printed on a particular page in a report.

The following code snippet demonstrates how to use the AfterPrint event to extend a report with another report’s pages.

C#

using DevExpress.XtraPrinting;
using DevExpress.XtraReports.UI;
using System;
using System.Drawing;
// ...
        XtraReport CreateReport() {
            XtraReport1 report1 = new XtraReport1();
            report1.AfterPrint += Report1_AfterPrint;
            return report1;
        }

        void Report1_AfterPrint(object sender, EventArgs e) {
            XtraReport2 report2 = new XtraReport2();
            report2.CreateDocument();

            XtraReport report1 = (XtraReport)sender;
            report1.ModifyDocument(x => x.AddPages(report2.Pages));
        }

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.XtraPrinting
Imports DevExpress.XtraReports.UI
Imports System
Imports System.Drawing
' ...
        Private Function CreateReport() As XtraReport
            Dim report1 As New XtraReport1()
            AddHandler report1.AfterPrint, AddressOf Report1_AfterPrint
            Return report1
        End Function

        Private Sub Report1_AfterPrint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
            Dim report2 As New XtraReport2()
            report2.CreateDocument()

            Dim report1 As XtraReport = DirectCast(sender, XtraReport)
            report1.ModifyDocument(Sub(x)
                                       x.AddPages(report2.Pages)
                                   End Sub)
        End Sub

You can also handle a report’s AfterPrint event. The following code snippet demonstrates how to use the AfterPrint event to add a brick to a report’s page.

C#

using DevExpress.XtraPrinting;
using DevExpress.XtraReports.UI;
using System;
using System.Drawing;
// ...
        XtraReport CreateReport() {
            XtraReport report = new XtraReport();
            report.AfterPrint += Report_AfterPrint;
            return report;
        }
        void Report_AfterPrint(object sender, EventArgs e) {
            XtraReport report = (XtraReport)sender;
            report.Pages[0].AddBrick(CreateVerticalLabel());
        }
        LabelBrick CreateVerticalLabel() {
            LabelBrick labelBrick = new LabelBrick() {
                Angle = 90,
                Text = "This is a label with vertical text",
                Location = new PointF(100, 300),
                Size = new SizeF(100, 2700),
            };
            return labelBrick;
        }

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.XtraPrinting
Imports DevExpress.XtraReports.UI
Imports System
Imports System.Drawing
' ...
        Private Function CreateReport() As XtraReport
            Dim report As New XtraReport()
            AddHandler report.AfterPrint, AddressOf Report_AfterPrint
            Return report
        End Function
        Private Sub Report_AfterPrint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
            Dim report As XtraReport = DirectCast(sender, XtraReport)
            report.Pages(0).AddBrick(CreateVerticalLabel())
        End Sub
        Private Function CreateVerticalLabel() As LabelBrick
            Dim labelBrick As New LabelBrick() With {
            .Angle = 90, 
            .Text = "This is a label with vertical text", 
            .Location = New PointF(100, 300), 
            .Size = New SizeF(100, 2700)}
            Return labelBrick
        End Function
