Hi,
In my project, I'm using RadFormDecorator to decorate controls. But i'm facing a problem while printing the page. It is not printing the check boxes and radio buttons.
But when I'm removing RadFormDecorator from my page, radio buttons and check boxes are getting printed.
Looking forward for a solution.
Thanks
Tanuj

Hi Tanuj,
When RadFormDecorator styles checkboxes, radiobuttons, buttons, etc., it hides the original elements and replace them with skinned ones that use images. Browsers on the other hand, do not print images by default - which leads to the behavior that you experience. Unfortunately there isn't much that we can do about that - whether images will be printed or not is a user setting in the browsers and it cannot be controlled by code (otherwise it would be a security hole). The only thing that I can suggest is either to disable such controls from decoration (by using the ControlsToSkip property) or as an alternative - to provide "Printer Friendly" pages where the styling of the page is done completely by CSS and without images.
All the best,

Hi Georgi,
Thanks for the reply.
I have used DecorationZoneID property to decorate the page partially and thus keeping the radio buttons and checkboxes out of the decoration and it has solved the purpose.
Thanks
