How should i get the Paper type at runtime?

[satisht]

If i set the paper type at runtime for all pages ? Then how should i get the paper type at runtime? (letter,A4,etc)

[Edward]

Please examine Page.Height and Page.Width properties. These properties are represented in report's units (centimeters, inches).

Thank you.

Only this is the way to get the type of paper ? Can i get directly type of paper ? means which paper type i have set in report ?

For get type information you can use:

Code: Select all

StiPage page = report.Pages[0];

and later you can use

Code: Select all

page.PaperSize.ToString()

for access to the page type

Also you can set page type by the following code, for example:

Code: Select all

StiPage page = report.Pages[0];
page.PaperSize = System.Drawing.Printing.PaperKind.A5;

For access information about page type from designer you can use, for example:

Code: Select all

{Page1.PaperSize}

Thank you.

I have used same code in vb
Dim page As StiPage = Report.Pages(0)

But there is no property like
'page.papersize'

Is there any another way to get the paper type?

Using form As Stimulsoft.Report.Render.StiPreviewForm = New Stimulsoft.Report.Render.StiPreviewForm(Report)
Dim stiPreview As Stimulsoft.Report.Render.StiPreviewControl = form.PreviewControl
Dim tb As StiToolBar = stiPreview.ToolBar
Dim btnSave As StiToolButton = TryCast(tb.Controls.Item("tbSave"), StiToolButton)
Dim btnExport As StiToolButton = TryCast(tb.Controls.Item("tbExport"), StiToolButton)
btnExport.Image = btnSave.Image
Report.Render()
Report.Compile()
form.ShowDialog()
Dim page As StiPage = Report.Pages(0)
MessageBox.Show(page.PaperSize.ToString)
End Using

I have used above code to to get the paper type at the time of closing the report if I set the page size to A4 or letter but still I get only custom type. How should i resove this problem?

[Edward]

You should reference a CompiledReport object instead of the Report object if you working with report after compilation.
Please modify your code in the following way:

Code: Select all

Dim page As StiPage = report.CompiledReport.Pages(0)
page.PaperSize = Printing.PaperKind.A5
MessageBox.Show(page.PaperSize.ToString)
Report.Render()
form.ShowDialog()

If you modify a report template (Report template directly) with a new page size then you should call Compile method of the Report to apply changes.

Thank you.
