Override Paper Orientation
posted

If you design a landscape report and attempt to print it on a printer where the paper is set to portrait, then you get the following message displayed;

Current printer paper size is different than the report's paper size. Do you want to scale the content to fit?

  • Click Yes to scale content to the printer paper size.
  • Click No to override printer page size.
  • Click Cancel to cancel printing.

It does make some sens that this message is displayed but it does confuse users who's response is always going to be 'well, I don't have this problem with Word...'.

Is there some way we can override this message appearing and just automatically select the option to override the printer paper size?

If this is not currently possible could I please request that it be included in a future release?

Many thanks.

    Hello Robin,

    Currently the suggestion Georgi shared, using external button, seems to be the best one for achieving the functionality you want. If you want this to be built in you can suggest it as new product idea here:

    http://ideas.infragistics.com.

    There are many benefits to submitting an product idea:

    -          Direct communication with our product management team regarding your product idea.

    -          Notifications whenever new information regarding your idea becomes available.

    -          Ability to vote on your favorite product ideas to let us know which ones are the most important to you.  You will have ten votes for this and can change which ideas you are voting for at any time.

    -          Allow you to shape the future of our products by requesting new controls and products altogether.

    -          You and other developers can discuss existing product ideas with members of our Product Management team.

    Steps to create your idea:               

    1. Log into the Infragistics Product Idea site at http://ideas.infragistics.com (creating a new login if needed).
    2. Navigate to the product / platform channel of your choice (e.g. WPF, Windows Forms, ASP.NET, HTML5 / Ignite UI, iOS / NucliOS, etc.)
    3. Add your product idea and be sure to be specific and provide as much detail as possible. Explain the context in which a feature would be used, why it is needed, why it can’t be accomplished today, and who would benefit from it. You can even add screenshots to build a stronger case. Remember that for your suggestion to be successful, you need other members of the community to vote for it. Be convincing!

    The Product Idea site puts you in the driver’s seat and allows you to track the progress of your ideas at any time, see how many votes it got, read comments from other developers in the community, and see if someone from the product team has additional questions for you.

    Thank you for contacting Infragistics.
