GridView Print Style - CheckBox Column

[ShareDocs]

Hello,

Checkbox column displays as "True" or "False" when preforming print preview.
Is there a way to display other values only on printing mode?
For example:
instead of true display + and instead of false display -

Thanks.

Hello,

If you are using export to pdf for this, you should take a look at this documentation article.

And for your specific case, you can register for the HTMLCellFormatting event and do the following:

void exporter_HTMLCellFormatting(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.Export.HTML.HTMLCellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.GridCellInfo.Value is bool)
    {
        var boolValue = (bool)e.GridCellInfo.Value;
        e.HTMLCellElement.Value = boolValue ? "+" : "-";
    }
}

If you have any other questions, please let me know.

Hello,

I am using radGridView.PrintPreview function.
In order to use the exporter, I need to export the grid to html file.
Is there another solution for printing other values for boolean columns without saving a file?

Thanks.

Hello again,

For this you need to register to the PrintCellFormatting event and do the following:

private void grid_PrintCellFormatting(object sender, PrintCellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Column is GridViewCheckBoxColumn && e.Row.Cells[e.Column.Index].Value is bool)
    {
        e.PrintCell.Text = ((bool)e.Row.Cells[e.Column.Index].Value) ? "+" : "-";
    }
}

If you have any other questions, please let me know.

Lior, Emanuel's solution is the right way to go in this situation. I am marking his post as answer in order to allow other users searching for this information to easily find it. You can read more on customizing the result of printing a grid in our online documentation - RadGridView Printing.
