Group Panel Printing

[R.D. Henry and Co.]

I have code: 
RadGridView1.TableElement.GridViewElement.GroupPanelElement.Text = "Some Text"
RadGridView1.TableElement.GridViewElement.GroupPanelElement.TextAlignment = ContentAlignment.TopLeft

and I want to print my GroupPanelElement.Text along with my GridView.  Is this possible?  and if so can someone please provide the code to to do this.

I tried:
  RadGridView1.TableElement.GridViewElement.GroupPanelElement.GridControl.PrintStyle.PrintGrouping = True

But that doesn't work.

Thank you in advance,

Curtis

Hello Curtis,

Thank you for contacting Telerik support. 

Currently, printing the GroupPanelElement is not supported by RadGridView. Also the PrintGrouping property is used to set whether the group header row will be printed.

As a suggestion for this case you can manually add this element to the document and print it. To achieve this you can create your own RadPrintDocument associate it with the grid and add the desired element on top of the grid. Please consider the following code snipped:

Private Sub radButton1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles RadButton1.Click
    Dim doc As New RadPrintDocument()
    doc.AssociatedObject = Me.RadGridView1
    doc.DefaultPageSettings.Margins = New System.Drawing.Printing.Margins(30, 30, 50, 30)

    AddHandler doc.PrintPage, AddressOf doc_PrintPage

    Dim dialog As New RadPrintPreviewDialog(doc)
    dialog.Show()

End Sub

Private Sub doc_PrintPage(sender As Object, e As System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs)
    Dim img As Image = RadGridView1.TableElement.GridViewElement.GroupPanelElement.GetAsBitmapEx(Color.Transparent, 0, New SizeF(1.0F, 1.0F))
    e.Graphics.DrawImage(img, e.MarginBounds.X, e.MarginBounds.Y - 20)

End Sub

I hope this information helps. Should you have any other questions, I will be glad to assist you.
