  Hello

  I am testing the spread for windows forms 12. My question is, can the size of the preview be maximized to the size of the monitor? I see that the default size is small.

  Thanks

  Hello,

  I am not sure what do you actually mean by the “size of the preview”.

  If in case you are referring to the size of the Spread control while adding it to the form then you can anytime resize the control size maximum to the size of the form by docking it in the form.

  And further if you want the form preview to be maximized when you run the application then use this code in Form1_Load event:-

           this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;
  

  Hope it helps. Else please clarify what do you actually mean and refer by the term “preview”. We will look into the same thereon.

  Thanks,

  Hello,

  Yes, I think I lacked clarity on the subject. I mean Print Preview.

  This is the code I am using:

  fpSpread.ActiveSheet.PrintInfo.ShowColumnHeaders = chkShowCol.Checked;
  
  fpSpread.ActiveSheet.PrintInfo.ShowRowHeaders = chkShowRow.Checked;
  
  fpSpread.ActiveSheet.PrintInfo.ShowGrid = chkShowGrid.Checked;
  
  fpSpread.ActiveSheet.PrintInfo.ShowBorder = chkShowBorder.Checked;
  
  fpSpread.ActiveSheet.PrintInfo.ShowShadows = chkShowShadow.Checked;
  
  fpSpread.ActiveSheet.PrintInfo.ShowColor = chkShowColor.Checked;
  
  fpSpread.ActiveSheet.PrintInfo.UseMax = chkShowData.Checked;
  
  fpSpread.ActiveSheet.PrintInfo.BestFitCols = chkBestCol.Checked;
  
  fpSpread.ActiveSheet.PrintInfo.ShowPrintDialog = true;
  
  fpSpread.Sheets[0].PrintInfo.Orientation = FarPoint.Win.Spread.PrintOrientation.Auto;
  
  fpSpread.ActiveSheet.PrintInfo.Preview = true;
  
  fpSpread.ActiveSheet.PrintInfo.UseSmartPrint = true;
  
  fpSpread.PrintSheet(0);

  As you can see, the Print Preview window does not appear maximized and precisely that is the client’s requirement: that by default it appears maximized.

  Is there any property of PrintInfo to accomplish this?

  Thanks.

  Hello,

  You can customize the print preview dialog to display it in maximized form if you set up another form with a PrintPreviewControl on it you can do the same.

  Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
         Dim pi As New FarPoint.Win.Spread.PrintInfo
         pi.Preview = True
         pi.Orientation = FarPoint.Win.Spread.PrintOrientation.Auto
         pi.UseSmartPrint = True
         pi.ShowPrintDialog = True
         pi.ShowColumnHeader = FarPoint.Win.Spread.PrintHeader.Show
         pi.ShowRowHeaders = FarPoint.Win.Spread.PrintHeader.Show
         pi.ShowGrid = True
         pi.ShowBorder = True
         pi.ShowShadows = True
         pi.ShowColor = True
         pi.UseMax = True
         pi.BestFitCols = True
  
         FpSpread1.ActiveSheet.PrintInfo = pi
         FpSpread1.PrintSheet(0)
     End Sub
  
     Private Sub FpSpread1_PrintPreviewShowing(sender As Object, e As FarPoint.Win.Spread.PrintPreviewShowingEventArgs) Handles FpSpread1.PrintPreviewShowing
         e.Cancel = True
         Dim f As New Form2
         f.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
         f.PrintPreviewControl1.Document = e.PreviewDialog.Document
         f.ShowDialog()
     End Sub
  

  Please have a look at attached sample for the same.

  Hope it helps.

  Thanks,
