iGrid.NET PrintManager

iGPrintManager is a component which allows you to print and print-preview the iGrid.NET control. This component is available for an extra fee for the iGrid.NET users.

With iGPrintManager you can:

• Print iGrid.NET (you can specify a range of pages to be printed).

• Show a print preview dialog for iGrid.NET. From this dialog you can specify the pages to be printed, paper size and margins, printer etc.

• Specify the page header and footer. The page header and footer are printed at the top and bottom of every page respectively.

• Specify the document header and footer. The document header is printed at the top of the first page; the document footer is printed under the last row of iGrid.NET on the last page.

• Specify the text (including its font) which is aligned to the left, center, and right of the header or footer.

• Specify calculated fields in the header or footer. These fields are %[PageNumber] and %[PageCount], when printing they are replaced with the number of the current page and the page count respectively.

• Specify printing style:
- specify whether to print separate in-cell controls (combo, ellipsis, and tree buttons);
- separately specify whether to fill up the header, cell, and group row background;
- specify whether to use the system styles (Flat, 3D) when printing or use a plain scheme;

• Print the group box (either on each page or only on the first one).

• Specify the color of the grid lines on the paper.

• Print all the groups expanded regardless of their real state.

• Specify the order the pages are printed in. It is useful when the page width cannot hold all the columns, and the last columns are printed on another page.

• Filter rows to be printed.

• Calculate the count of pages needed to print a grid (even before real printing).

• Show a page setup dialog which correctly works with metric units (in contrast to native .NET page setup dialog).

• Check whether the page margins are within the printable area of a printer.
