PagesPerSheet does not working at the time of GridView Printing

[Bharat Mendapara]

I want to print two pages per sheet .Because I have one GridView and only three columns are available in the GridView. So remaining part of the page are unuseful.
so that I set  PrintDialog.PrintTicket.PagesPerSheet = 2 and PrintDialog.PrintQueue.DefaultPrintTicket.PagesPerSheet = 2. But its not working. And I am using following code for the Printing.


public static void Print(this GridViewDataControl source, bool showDialog, bool p_IsLandscape = true)
        {
            try
            {
                PrintDialog _PrintDialog = new PrintDialog();
                _PrintDialog.PrintQueue = LocalPrintServer.GetDefaultPrintQueue();
                _PrintDialog.PrintTicket = _PrintDialog.PrintQueue.DefaultPrintTicket;


                // Updated By Bharat Mendapara | Date : 11/03/2014
                //Reason SDPLAN-58 (DPA022 - Diagram Objects printing).
                if (p_IsLandscape)
                    _PrintDialog.PrintTicket.PageOrientation = PageOrientation.Landscape;
                else
                {
                    _PrintDialog.PrintTicket.PageOrientation = PageOrientation.Portrait;
                    _PrintDialog.PrintTicket.PagesPerSheet = 2;
                    _PrintDialog.PrintQueue.DefaultPrintTicket.PagesPerSheet = 2;
                }

                bool? dialogResult = showDialog ? _PrintDialog.ShowDialog() : true;

                if (dialogResult == true)
                {
                    DocumentViewer viewer = new DocumentViewer();
                    viewer.Document = ToFixedDocument(ToPrintFriendlyGrid(source), _PrintDialog);
                    _PrintDialog.PrintDocument(viewer.Document.DocumentPaginator, null);
                }
            }
            catch
            {
            }
        }


static FixedDocument ToFixedDocument(FrameworkElement element, PrintDialog dialog)
        {
            PrintCapabilities capabilities = dialog.PrintQueue.GetPrintCapabilities(dialog.PrintTicket);
            FixedDocument fixedDocument = new FixedDocument();

            element.Measure(new Size(double.PositiveInfinity, double.PositiveInfinity));

            Size pageSize = new Size(element.DesiredSize.Width, dialog.PrintableAreaHeight);
            Size extentSize = new Size(element.DesiredSize.Width, capabilities.PageImageableArea.ExtentHeight);

            double totalHeight = element.DesiredSize.Height;
            double totalWidth = element.DesiredSize.Width;
            double yOffset = 0d;

            if (totalWidth < dialog.PrintableAreaWidth)
            {
                Size _Size = new Size(dialog.PrintableAreaWidth, dialog.PrintableAreaHeight);
                element.Arrange(new Rect(new Point(0, 0), _Size));
            }
            else
            {
                element.Arrange(new Rect(new Point(0, 0), element.DesiredSize));
            }

            while (yOffset < totalHeight)
            {
                VisualBrush brush = new VisualBrush(element);
                brush.Stretch = Stretch.None;
                brush.AlignmentX = AlignmentX.Left;
                brush.AlignmentY = AlignmentY.Top;
                brush.ViewboxUnits = BrushMappingMode.Absolute;
                brush.TileMode = TileMode.None;
                if (totalWidth < dialog.PrintableAreaWidth)
                    brush.Viewbox = new Rect(0, yOffset, dialog.PrintableAreaWidth, extentSize.Height);
                else
                    brush.Viewbox = new Rect(0, yOffset, extentSize.Width, extentSize.Height);

                PageContent pageContent = new PageContent();
                FixedPage page = new FixedPage();
                ((IAddChild)pageContent).AddChild(page);

                fixedDocument.Pages.Add(pageContent);

                if (totalWidth < dialog.PrintableAreaWidth)
                    page.Width = dialog.PrintableAreaWidth;
                else
                    page.Width = totalWidth;

                page.Height = pageSize.Height;

                Canvas canvas = new Canvas();
                FixedPage.SetLeft(canvas, capabilities.PageImageableArea.OriginWidth);
                FixedPage.SetTop(canvas, capabilities.PageImageableArea.OriginHeight);

                if (totalWidth < dialog.PrintableAreaWidth)
                    canvas.Width = dialog.PrintableAreaWidth;
                else
                    canvas.Width = extentSize.Width;

                canvas.Height = extentSize.Height;
                canvas.Background = brush;

                page.Children.Add(canvas);

                yOffset += extentSize.Height;
            }
            return fixedDocument;
        }

Can you help

Hi,

You could pass the PrintDialog to the RadRichTextBox.
For example:

this.radRichTextBox.Print(PrintDialog printDialog, PrintSettings printSettings). 

Please note this will only take effect if the printer allows pages per sheet.
