Hi,
It's possible export a Grid to PDF? any example?
thanks
Hi!
Technically it should be possible, although it would be a bit of work.
Apple has documentation that describes how to create a PDF using their API:
http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/2ddrawing/conceptual/drawingprintingios/GeneratingPDF/GeneratingPDF.html
You can use this information and draw screen shots of the IGGridView into the context of a PDF page. However, the IGGridVIew only renders whats currently on screen. So you have 2 options.
1. When you create your PDF, create another grid, that is is the full size of it's content. And take a screen shot of it.
2. Take multiple screen shots of the grid, while you change it's content offset, so that it's displaying all of your data.
To take a screen shot, you can actually take a look at a blog post that i wrote a while back:
http://ko.infragistics.com/community/blogs/stevez/archive/2012/12/13/uiimage-tips-and-tricks-for-ios.aspx
Basically the code looks like this (in objective-c)
-(UIImage*)screenShotOf:(UIView*)view{ UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(view.frame.size); CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(); [view.layer renderInContext:context]; UIImage * img = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext(); UIGraphicsEndImageContext(); return img;}
You can also make a request for this feature for a future release here:

I know this is kind of vague, but i'd be happy to help guide you through this feature. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

hi,
thanks for you answer!
i thing it should be priority to have this functionality: "Export to PDF"...everyone need to get reports with charts or grids...infragistics have the controls to this (grids and charts), but misses the reports...
Thanks for the Suggestion!!
On a side note. We actually have an iOS App called Report+ that does reporting.
You can read more about it in the link below:http://ko.infragistics.com/products/reportplus/
