RichTextBox How To Detect Page Layout when Print started

[blaise]

Hello,

I need to adapt a table layout according to the page layout when printing a radrichtextbox.
The goal is to automatically split a table in a partition wich respect the requested page layout.
if I do not do this, it is not possible to print
1. large tables --> they are truncated
2. partition header on each page

Am I going to the good  way?
Does it exists a way to detect the user chosen page layout when printing a richtextbox content?


Thank you for answers.

Finally I have chosen the "PrintDocument" way... The api is flexible and result is really beautiful...
I have to admit it's quite slow, Nevertheless this way seems reliable : silverlight 5 is going to provide a vectorised print api, speed will come with this so waited feature.

Hello Blaise,
We're glad to hear that the API is flexible enough for your purposes. Native Silverlight 4 printing is bitmap-based, thus very slow, so we have provided HTML printing (through RadRichTextBox.Print("", PrintMode.Html) method), which is faster, but lacks a precise pagination, so maybe it won't fit your needs.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have other questions or recommendations.
