Hi,
I'm using UltraGridDocumentExporter to export the grid content to a PDF document. The issue I'm facing is, after exporting the grid columns data to PDF, few columns doesn't show the complete data. Content is cut off.
On debugging, the complete data is available in the grid instance before exporting to PDF. Problem arises when I call the PerformAutoResize() method for each of the columns in the grid to compute the width. For instance, a column holds value like "This is a sample test message to be displayed in the grid". But only " "This is a sample test message" is displayed in the PDF. If I increase the width manually while in debugging mode, the complete text is displayed.
Please let me know your comments on the above issue.
Thanks
You are probably calling PerformAutoResize on the on-screen columns. The screen uses different graphics units than the PDF document, so if you auto-size the on-screen columns and then export to PDF, the sizes will not be correct.
Why are you calling PerformAutoResize, anwyay? The UltraGridDocumentExporter has an AutoSize property which automatically auto-sizes the columns in the exported grid by default. So unless you explicitly turned this off, there's no reason to call PerformAutoResize yourself.
If, for some reason, you want to size the columns yourself, you should call PerformAutoResize on the columns of the Layout that is provided by the event args of the ExportStarted event.
I have set the UltraGridDocumentExporter's AutoSize Property to NONE (Not calling the PerformAutoResize method in the ExportStarted Event). Tried the below scenarios,
1) In the grid, a particular column's width is say 300. And I'm able to see the data completely. After I export, I dont see the complete text in the PDF. Also, If I increase the width of that column in the grid say to 400, and then export to PDF, complete text is seen in the PDF. This should be the case when the width was 300 right? Because, I was able to see the complete data with 300 as the column width.
2) When I wrap the column in the grid, and then export to PDF, the cell border and the actual data overlaps. Unable to view the data clearly. RowSizing Property is set to AutoFree. But it has no effect. Is there any way to overcome this problem? The same behaviour happens with the column header too. Header text overlaps with the cell border.
After setting the AutoSize Property to NONE, the header text doesn't fit in a single line. I would prefer, column header text in a single line. Please let me know what is causing this behaviour.
