Hello.

Some printer settings could be changed in the report.PrinterSettings property.

Thank you.

Hello,

i know this, but you can change only the Copies an the Printer Name.
Wahts about the PaperSource etc. etc.

Whats about :
PrinterSettings printerSettings = new ....
report.Show(true, printerSettings ))

Hello.

You could handle the Stimulsoft.Report.StiOptions.Engine.GlobalEvents.ReportPrinting event to change report settings.

Thank you.

Do you have a sample source code to set the PrinterSettimg by a PrinterSettings Object or the PaperSource

Thank you.

i ask for a sample to set the PrinterSetting by a PrinterSettings Object, not for "How to enable the editor-mode from code".
Thank you.

Hello.

Sorry, it was our mistake. You should use the PrintingDocumentInViewer global event.

The code to handle it:

Code: Select all

StiOptions.Engine.GlobalEvents.PrintingDocumentInViewer += new EventHandler(GlobalEvents_PrintingDocumentInViewer);
report.Show(true);
...............

void GlobalEvents_PrintingDocumentInViewer(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    PrinterSettings ps = new PrinterSettings();
    ps.Copies = 2;
    ps.PrinterName = "Fax";
    ((StiReport)sender).Print(ps);
}

Thank you.
