AutoPrint Grid With Button Not

[John]

https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/pdf-export/auto-print/

In this scenario you have to use the checkbox.  However, I would like to use 2 buttons.  One for Download only and one for Download with auto print.  The problem I'm having is that setting the autoPrint = true in code does not work in Angular until the second time.  So it appears that Kendo does not pick up the change in value.  

Does anyone know a way to make this happen without using a checkbox?

Thanks for the reply.  We are not allowed to use setTimeout() in our application.  However, I just found this option in Angular that accomplishes what we need.  https://angular.io/guide/zone#ngzone-run-and-runoutsideofangular

public download(value, pdf, filename) {        
    this.autoPrint = value;

    this.ngZone.runOutsideAngular(() => {
        pdf.saveAs(filename);
    });
}

 Thank you for the response.  This is now resolved.

Hello John,

In order to use two buttons to Download only and Download with Auto Print, use the setTimeout method in the click event to save the PDF using the saveAs method. This way the updated autoPrint value will be considered. For example:

<button kendoButton (click)="download(pdf, false)">
  Download
</button>

public download(pdf, autoprint) {
  this.autoPrint = autoprint;
  setTimeout(() => pdf.saveAs('image-resolution.pdf'));
}

I have created a StackBlitz example demonstrating the snippet shared above.

Let me know if this helps or if I can further assist you.
