Hi Rahman,

RadRichTextBox's native document - RadDocument, is built as flow document. The control only supports vertical pagination and we have no plans for horizontal pagination. You could try to work around the clipping of content with one of the following approaches:

• Set the orientation of the document to landscape and the page size to a large size.
• Measure the columns of the RadGridView in your application and create separate tables from small sets of columns. What you should be aware in this regard is that RadDocument's model does not allow consecutive tables, so you should make sure to add at least one empty paragraph between them.

Additionally, I want to mention that we are currently considering exposing printing functionality for the RadSpreadsheet control which will allow splitting the document horizontally. Worksheets are not flow documents, so they can be paginated both vertically and horizontally. We will do our best to implement the functionality for the Q1 2014 release.

Let us know if you have other comments or questions.

Hello Sekh,

The basic idea behind the suggested approach is as follows:

• Measure the available horizontal space in a page (by default, A4 is the default page size.

  double availableWidth =this.radRichTextBox.Document.SectionDefaultPageSize.Width - this.radRichTextBox.Document.SectionDefaultPageMargin.Size.Width;

• Start building a Table document element based on the RadGridView from its first row. You can measure the width of your grid view's columns and set it as width to the respective table cells.

  double totalWidth = 0;
  List<GridViewBoundColumnBase> columns = (from c in grid.Columns.OfType<GridViewBoundColumnBase>()
                                           orderby c.DisplayIndex
                                           select c).ToList();
  tableCell.PreferredWidth = new TableWidthUnit((float)columns[i].ActualWidth);
  totalWidth += columns[i].ActualWidth;

• Once the available width is exceeded, stop building the first row and populate the columns enumerated in this table row by row until the end of the RadGridView.

  if(totalWidth >= availableWidth)

• Repeat the first three steps until all data is exported.

As I mentioned, Tables cannot be consecutive blocks in a RadDocument, so please make sure to separate them with empty paragraphs in the document.

I hope this helps!

Hi Petya,
Thanks for reply..
I have tried your approached ,it is working.
Now one more problem I need header in all of pages .For header I have implemented somethings some thing like this.

Telerik.Windows.Documents.Model.Table table = null;
            Telerik.Windows.Documents.Model.Paragraph paragraph = new Telerik.Windows.Documents.Model.Paragraph();
            section.Blocks.Add(paragraph);
            // Display header logic
            Span hspan = new Span(Toolname);
            hspan.FontSize = 15;
            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(Toolname))
                paragraph.Inlines.Add(hspan);

Here Toolname is the header name.
But in all page how I can achieve it ..Please help..

Thanks & Regards,
Sekh

Hi Sekh,

RadDocument has its own concept of headers, so you can try placing the respective content in the section's header. You can check the documentation of the feature here.

Let me know if you have further questions.

Hi Patya,
Your idea is working...I just added this type of logic..

public RadDocument CreateDocumentForHeader()
        {
            RadDocument document = new RadDocument();
            Section section = new Section();
            Paragraph paragraph = new Paragraph();
            PageField pageField = new PageField() { DisplayMode = FieldDisplayMode.Result };
            paragraph.Inlines.Add(new Span(Toolname));
            paragraph.TextAlignment = RadTextAlignment.Left;
            section.Blocks.Add(paragraph);
            document.Sections.Add(section);
            return document;
        }
Here ToolName is nothing but a header what I am going to display in header section.
than i used this line of code at the time of creation of Document for print
 //Adding Header 
            document.Sections.First.Headers.Default = new Header() { Body = this.CreateDocumentForHeader() };

Sekh

Hello Rahman,

As explained in the article I previously referenced, headers and footers are applied on a per-section basis. Additionally, they can be linked to the header/footer of the previous section. Maybe you can link all headers and place the content you wish to be repeated in the header. The information based on your Toolname which you are currently placing there can be added in the main document.

I hope this helps!
