No. The way printing works is that the PrintDocument fires off events and the grid draws itself into each page. All of this happens before you ever see the print preview. So it's not something you can dynamically change on the fly.
Mike,
Thank you for your update. Is it possible to close the print preview and then reload the print preview option on custom menu click item? Please suggest. Is there any way I can close the print preview option and then reload with new grid. I have done dispose but it throws error on the form.

I'm not sure. It may depend on which print preview you are using.
If the InitializePrintPreview event gives you a reference to the print preview dialog, then you might be able to use that and call the close method on it. But I'm not sure how tighly integrated this dialog is with the grid. The grid may not be expected you to do that.
Another possibility would be to use the UltraPrintPreviewDialog along with an UltraGridPrintDocument. This dialog is external to the grid and might give you more control.
