Hi,
I try to preview a UltraWinGrid that contains 2 columns and 42 rows. One colum has type string and the other one bitmap. The second column is filled with images with size 21900x20 for each row.
I'm using the following code:
private
fullBmp;
;
e)
{
.OK)
fileName = openFileDialog1.FileName;
fullBmp = (
.FromFile(fileName);
();
table.Columns.Add(
)));
i = 0; i < 42; i++)
row = table.NewRow();
(i == 0)
row[
}
else
+ i.ToString();
.Format16bppRgb565);
] = b;
table.Rows.Add(row);
mPrintGrid =
mPrintGrid.InitializeLayout +=
(mPrintGrid_InitializeLayout);
mPrintGrid.InitializeRow +=
(mPrintGrid_InitializeRow);
//mPrintGrid.DisplayLayout.Override.DefaultRowHeight = mRowHeight;
mPrintGrid.DisplayLayout.Override.CellSpacing = 0;
mPrintGrid.DisplayLayout.Override.CellPadding = 0;
mPrintGrid.Parent =
mPrintGrid.DataSource = table;
mPrintGrid.Dock =
.Fill;
gridPanel.Controls.Add(mPrintGrid);
mPrintGrid.PrintPreview();
//mPrintGrid.Print();
e.Layout.Bands[0].ColHeadersVisible =
e.Layout.Bands[0].Override.RowSizing =
.Free;
e.Layout.Bands[0].Override.RowSpacingAfter = 0;
e.Layout.Bands[0].Override.RowSpacingBefore = 0;
e.Layout.Bands[0].Columns[
].Width = 21900;
//e.Layout.Bands[0].Columns["Image"].MergedCellStyle = MergedCellStyle.Always;
//e.Layout.Bands[0].Columns["Image"].MergedCellEvaluationType = MergedCellEvaluationType.MergeSameValue;
////e.Layout.Bands[0].Columns["Image"].MergedCellEvaluator = new ImageMergedCellEvaluator();
(e.Row.Index == 0)
e.Row.Height = 40;
e.Row.Height = 20;
The exception occurs while the preview pages are generating:

Hi Mike,
I found a workaround for drawing issue. It seems the DrawToBitmap method is drawing the entire control if the control is NOT visible! The only challenge is to get the required size to draw the entire grid. But also this can be done if you iterate thru the rows/columns collections and increment the height/width values plus some borders.
Thank you for your feedback.
There's no easy way to get an image of the entire contents of the grid. That's what the grid's Printing code does - it draws the grid onto a graphics object provided by the PrintDocument. The code is quite complex and basically involves creating a UIElement that contains the same rows as the grid and then drawing it, then scrolling it to the next page full of rows, drawing it, etc.
I will try to sent small images to the printer, but I need the grid image somehow....
I got your point. On the other hand, i'm wondering how to save the entire UltraGrid content to an Image? Using the Control.DrawToBitmap will draw only the visible part of the grid.
Thank you for your support.

As I said, I don't think this has anything to do with the grid. The image is incredibly large and it looks like Windows or DotNet drawing code is blowing up when the grid attempts to draw it on the print surface, which is really not surprising.
Even if this worked, it would take a forest-worth of paper to print it out on. :)
You probably need to reduce the size of the image.
