Hi Alex,

Thank you for writing.

Currently, we are not having a persistence API of RadPivotGrid`s print settings. You can, however, save the property values of the RadPrintDocument and PivotGridPrintStyle instances.

A suitable place to perform this logic is the OnBeginPrint method of the RadPrintDocument class. This way you will be sure that the saved values are always the newest reflecting the changes performed by the end users:

// In your pivot form

private void PrintPivotGrid()

{

RadPrintDocument document = new MyRadPrintDocument();

document.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = true;

document.DefaultPageSettings.PrinterSettings.Copies = 2;

document.AssociatedObject = this.radPivotGrid1;

PivotGridPrintStyle style = new PivotGridPrintStyle();

style.LayoutType = PivotLayout.Compact;

this.radPivotGrid1.PrintStyle = style;

RadPrintPreviewDialog dialog = new RadPrintPreviewDialog();

dialog.Document = document;

dialog.ShowDialog();

}

public class MyRadPrintDocument : RadPrintDocument

{

protected override void OnBeginPrint(System.Drawing.Printing.PrintEventArgs e)

{

base.OnBeginPrint(e);

PivotGridPrintStyle style = ((RadPivotGrid)this.AssociatedObject).PrintStyle;

// Save settings from the print and style objects.

}

I hope this information is useful. Should you have further questions please do not hesitate to write back.

Hello Alex,

Thank you for writing back.

You can create a new CommandBarButton and add it to any of the strips of the RadCommandBar control used by the RadPrintPreviewDialog:

RadPrintPreviewDialog dialog = new RadPrintPreviewDialog();

CommandBarButton saveBtn = new CommandBarButton();

saveBtn.Click += saveBtn_Click;

dialog.ToolCommandBar.Rows[0].Strips[0].Items.Add(saveBtn);

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you need further assistance.

Hello Alex,

Thank you for writing.

In order to add an additional button to the PrintSettingsDialog, you need to create a custom RadPrintPreviewDialog and override its OnShowPrintSettingsDialog method. Please check my code snippet below:

public class MyRadPrintPreviewDialog : RadPrintPreviewDialog

{

protected override void OnShowPrintSettingsDialog()

{

if (this.Document == null)

{

return;

}

Form dialog = this.Document.AssociatedObject.GetSettingsDialog(this.Document);

RadForm radDialog = dialog as RadForm;

RadButton print = radDialog.Controls["buttonPrint"] as RadButton;

RadButton saveBtn = new RadButton() { Text = "MyBtn" };

saveBtn.Parent = radDialog;

saveBtn.Size = print.Size;

saveBtn.Location = new Point(print.Location.X - print.Size.Width - 6, print.Location.Y);

saveBtn.Click += saveBtn_Click;

if (radDialog != null)

{

radDialog.ThemeName = this.ThemeName;

}

if (dialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)

{

this.Document.PrinterSettings.PrintRange = System.Drawing.Printing.PrintRange.AllPages;

this.printPreviewControl.InvalidatePreview();

this.GetType().BaseType.GetMethod("UpdatePageCount", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic).Invoke(this, new object[] { });

}

private void saveBtn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

//...

}

I am also sending you a screenshot showing the result on my end.

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you need further assistance.

Hello Alex,

Thank you for writing back.

There is no way to preview the changes without actually applying them to the document. I can suggest adding save logic at the end of the OnShowPrintSettingsDialog method. This way it will be always in sync with the printed or previewed document. Additionally, you may also consider adding the button in the command bar as I suggested in my second post.

In case that does not fit your project and you insist on using the separate button you can apply and save the changes this way:

public class MyRadPrintPreviewDialog : RadPrintPreviewDialog

{

Form dialog;

protected override void OnShowPrintSettingsDialog()

{

if (this.Document == null)

{

return;

}

dialog = this.Document.AssociatedObject.GetSettingsDialog(this.Document);

RadForm radDialog = dialog as RadForm;

RadButton print = radDialog.Controls["buttonPrint"] as RadButton;

RadButton saveBtn = new RadButton() { Text = "MyBtn" };

saveBtn.Parent = radDialog;

saveBtn.Size = print.Size;

saveBtn.Location = new Point(print.Location.X - print.Size.Width - 6, print.Location.Y);

saveBtn.Click += saveBtn_Click;

if (radDialog != null)

{

radDialog.ThemeName = this.ThemeName;

}

if (dialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)

{

this.Document.PrinterSettings.PrintRange = System.Drawing.Printing.PrintRange.AllPages;

this.printPreviewControl.InvalidatePreview();

this.GetType().BaseType.GetMethod("UpdatePageCount", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic).Invoke(this, new object[] { });

}

private void saveBtn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

typeof(PrintSettingsDialog).GetMethod("ApplySettings", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic).Invoke(dialog, new object[] { });

this.Document.PrinterSettings.PrintRange = System.Drawing.Printing.PrintRange.AllPages;

this.printPreviewControl.InvalidatePreview();

this.GetType().BaseType.GetMethod("UpdatePageCount", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic).Invoke(this, new object[] { });

//Execute your logic for saving the settings

dialog.Close();

}

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you need further assistance.
