IF I change the paper size after showing the report preview window then how should I get the Paper size at the time of closing the window?

Sorry for my automatically error in the previous post.

Correct line is following:

Code: Select all

Dim page As StiPage = report.CompiledReport.Pages(0)

Please use the following code to obtain the PaperSize of the Rendered report:

Code: Select all

page = Report.CompiledReport.Pages(0)
MessageBox.Show(page.PaperSize.ToString)

Thank you.

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.CompiledReport.Pages(0)
MessageBox.Show(page.PaperSize.ToString)
End Using

I am not having test solution but I have used above code to see the papersize of page before closing the preview window.

Please change the following string

Code: Select all

'This collection of pages is ready for rendering and changes into it reflect on the result of the rendering.
Dim page As StiPage = Report.CompiledReport.Pages(0)

to

Code: Select all

'This is a collection of the Rendered pages which are represented in the preview window.
Dim page As StiPage = Report.RenderedPages(0)

because the Collection of the Rendered pages is stored in the RenderedPages collection. Therefore when you change something in the Preview window after rendering the report this reflects to RenderedPages collection.

Thank you.
