Page number in Print document

[Dhaval patel]

Hello,

I prepare data by RadDocument and assign to RadRichTextBox(RadRichTextBox.1Document).
and then give it to print.

Is it possible to give page number to printed document.
also to export to PDF?

Thanks in advance...

Hello Dhaval Patel,

You can add page fields programmatically as described in this forum.
The page numbers inserted in this way will also be exported to PDF correctly.

Hello,

thanks for reply :)

I have tried to give page number as you said,
1. create new Class for PagesNumberField.
2.Override method  GetResultFragment.

protected override DocumentFragment GetResultFragment()
    {
        int pageNumber = 0;
        int pagesCount = 0;
        if (this.Document != null)
        {
            DocumentPosition position = new DocumentPosition(this.Document);
            position.MoveToStartOfDocumentElement(this.FieldStart);
            SectionLayoutBox sectionBox = position.GetCurrentSectionBox();

            pageNumber = sectionBox.PageNumber;
            pagesCount = DocumentStructureCollection.GetChildrenCount(this.Document.DocumentLayoutBox);
        }
        string resultString = "Page " + pageNumber + " of " + pagesCount;

        return base.CreateFragmentFromText(resultString);
    }

but it gives always pagesCount = 1 only..
so it print like Page 1 of 1, Page 2 of 1, Page 3 of 1..........

I prepare RedDocument by adding different sections for chart,grid and other information.

Thanks in advance

Hello Dhaval Patel,
This custom field with pages count won't work in headers and footers, as stated in the original thread. We will implement such field in the future, but until then your only option is to insert the total pages number as text.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have other questions.

Kind regards,

Hello team:

Is this still the case that these custom fields do not work in headers and footers?

Thanks!

Hi Jonathan,

Custom fields can be inserted in the header or footer. The particular implementation of a field containing the count of pages that Boby refered to had a limitation, which prevented that.

However, I'm happy to inform you that RadRichTextBox already exposes a field with pages count. This is NumPagesField and it can also be inserted in the header or footer. Here is a snippet that shows how to do that:

radRichTextBox1.Document.Sections.First.Footers.Default.Body.InsertField(new NumPagesField(), FieldDisplayMode.Result);

Please, do not hesitate to contact us if you have additional questions or comments. All the best,

Hi,

The code "radRichTextBox1.Document.Sections.First.Footers.Default.Body.InsertField(new NumPagesField(), FieldDisplayMode.Result);", effectively, put the total pages of the document. The issue that I'm facing is, if I want to map the code with a button and the document is in the footer or header section, it won't put the field in the header/footer cursor position but in the current document position. Here is my snippet:

Private Sub RRbtnInsertTotalPages_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles RRbtnInsertTotalPages.Click
        If editor.IsInHeaderFooterEditMode Then
            Dim CP As Telerik.Windows.Documents.DocumentPosition = New DocumentPosition(Me.editor.Document.CaretPosition)
            CP.GetCurrentSectionBox.GetFooter.Body.InsertField(New NumPagesField(), FieldDisplayMode.Result)
        Else
            editor.Document.InsertField(New NumPagesField, FieldDisplayMode.Code)
        End If

    End Sub

So, to resume, I want to insert the field at the cursor position. If it is in the footer or header section, I want it there.

Thanks a lot,

Patrick

Hello Patrick,

You can use the ActiveDocumentEditor property in order to insert NumPagesField at the caret position.

editor.ActiveDocumentEditor.InsertField(New NumPagesField(), FieldDisplayMode.Result)

I hope this answers your question!
