#Example
The following code snippet uses RichEditDocumentServer
to create a new document, modify and print it.
Note
The code sample uses the Printing
using DevExpress.XtraRichEdit;
using DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.API.Native;
using DevExpress.XtraPrinting;
RichEditDocumentServer richServer = new RichEditDocumentServer();
// Specify default formatting
richServer.Document.DefaultParagraphProperties.Alignment = ParagraphAlignment.Center;
// Specify page settings
richServer.Document.Sections[0].Page.Landscape = true;
richServer.Document.Sections[0].Page.Height = DevExpress.Office.Utils.Units.InchesToDocumentsF(10.0f);
richServer.Document.Sections[0].Page.Width = DevExpress.Office.Utils.Units.InchesToDocumentsF(4.5f);
// Add document content
richServer.Document.AppendText("This content is created programmatically\n");
richServer.Document.Paragraphs.Append();
//Create a table
Table _table = richServer.Document.Tables.Create(richServer.Document.Selection.Start, 8, 8, AutoFitBehaviorType.FixedColumnWidth);
_table.BeginUpdate();
_table.Borders.InsideHorizontalBorder.LineThickness = 1;
_table.Borders.InsideHorizontalBorder.LineStyle = TableBorderLineStyle.Double;
_table.Borders.InsideVerticalBorder.LineThickness = 1;
_table.Borders.InsideVerticalBorder.LineStyle = TableBorderLineStyle.Double;
_table.TableAlignment = TableRowAlignment.Center;
_table.ForEachCell((cell, rowIndex, columnIndex) =>
{
richServer.Document.InsertText(cell.Range.Start, String.Format("{0}*{1} is {2}",
rowIndex + 2, columnIndex + 2, (rowIndex + 2) * (columnIndex + 2)));
});
_table.EndUpdate();
// Invoke the Print Preview dialog
using (PrintingSystem printingSystem = new PrintingSystem())
{
using (PrintableComponentLink link = new PrintableComponentLink(printingSystem))
{
link.Component = richServer;
link.CreateDocument();
link.ShowPreviewDialog();
}
