Export to RadDocument (TableHader over multiple pages?)

[Felix]

Hi,
I export the RadGridView via the Democode to a RadDocument.
The table in the RadDocument is could be quiet big. 
I want on every page the the TableHeader printed again.
Also i want some basic header and footer (I already could add pagenumber / logo ..)

But i have no chance to make the repeatable TableHeader, and if there are too many columns that it continues on the next page. 

Is this even possible with RadDocument or do I have to use Reporting for this?

kind regards
felix

Hello,

In order to add a print header to every page - you can create a header section and assign it to the HeaderFooterUIContext of the editor. Something like so:

Section firstSection = this.editor.Document.Sections.First;
Header header = newHeader();
header.Body = CreateRadDocumentForHeader(); //RadDocument to show in the header
this.editor.HeaderFooterUIContext.UpdateHeader(firstSection, HeaderFooterType.Default, header);

Please check this help article on creating a document table in code behind.  This feature still needs improvement until it is fully implemented, but you may review how it fits to your case.

For more complex scenarios I would recommend you to use Telerik Reporting.

All the best,

Table header works..

but real problem is with big tables.. (lot of columns)

With the less columns example the table is stretched and looks nice.
less columns

But with a lot of columns it gets very ugly.. is there a method to put the overflow in a separate page?
a lot of columns

I figured out reporting is not very good, because we work with variable number of columns. In the reporting we have to type the values hard for every column, so not really our case....

I hope my problem is now more understandable :-)

kind regards

Not possible with RadDocument?

[Iva Toteva]

Hello Felix,

In RadDocument, it is possible to increase the size of the page in order to make it wide enough to show all columns correctly. This can be done by setting the PageSize property of the Section you have created in code-behind to a new Size(width, height).

The documents will be exported to PDF using the size specified in the section. As for printing, RadRichTextBox and RadDocument do not have an implementation of horizontal overflow.
