GrapeCity.ActiveReports.PrinterSettings.UseXpDialog

UseXpDialog Property

UseXpDialog

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the XP style print dialog should be used.

Declaration

public bool UseXpDialog { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
bool	`true` to use the XP style print dialog; otherwise, `false` to use the default print dialog of the current operating system.

Remarks

The XP style print dialog provides a user interface consistent with Windows XP, offering a simpler and possibly more familiar option for users accustomed to that environment. This property allows applications to maintain a consistent user experience across different versions of Windows by opting for the classic XP style dialog. It is important to note that while the XP style dialog may offer a nostalgic or consistent experience for some users, newer versions of the print dialog provide enhancements and features not available in the XP style dialog. Consider the target audience and the specific needs of the application when deciding whether to enable this option.

Examples

This example demonstrates how to enable the XP style print dialog:

var printerSettings = new GrapeCity.ActiveReports.PrinterSettings();
printerSettings.UseXpDialog = true;
// Proceed with printing operations
