UltraGrid

615

Maurice posted over 16 years ago

When I call this.ultraGrid1.Print(), the call waits forever to return. There are rows in the grid and there are 3 columns. I have even added an eventhandler for the InitializePrint event which looks like this: void ultraGrid1_InitializePrint(object sender, Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.CancelablePrintEventArgs e){e.PrintLayout.BorderStyle = Infragistics.Win.UIElementBorderStyle.None;e.DefaultLogicalPageLayoutInfo.PageHeaderBorderStyle = Infragistics.Win.UIElementBorderStyle.None;e.DefaultLogicalPageLayoutInfo.PageFooterBorderStyle = Infragistics.Win.UIElementBorderStyle.None;e.DefaultLogicalPageLayoutInfo.PageHeader = "Print pagina <#>";e.DefaultLogicalPageLayoutInfo.PageFooter = "Offerte";e.DefaultLogicalPageLayoutInfo.PageHeaderHeight = 20;e.DefaultLogicalPageLayoutInfo.PageFooterHeight = 40;e.PrintDocument.DocumentName = "Print klant";e.PrintDocument.DefaultPageSettings.Margins.Left = 50;e.PrintDocument.DefaultPageSettings.Margins.Right = 50;e.PrintDocument.DefaultPageSettings.Margins.Bottom = 50;e.PrintDocument.DefaultPageSettings.Margins.Top = 50;e.PrintDocument.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = true;} And a button which calls this.ultraGrid1.Print() when clicked.

Is this a known problem or am I missing something?

What version of the grid are you using? Do you have the latest Hot Fix?
There were a few known issues that might cause the printing to hang if you have a single row that is taller than a printer page or some other unusual situation like that. But these issues were all fixed years ago as far as I know, so they would only occur if you are using a really old version of the control.
Is your data source recursive?

If it has worked in previous versions, then it seems like this is a bug. You should submit an incident to Developer Support.

No, I am not passing a PrintDocument to the method, I am calling Print() without any parameters. I have done it in other code which used an older version of Infragistics (I am using 8.2 now) and it worked then.I have tried passing it a PrintDocument instance and the DisplayLayout as layout, but no success that way either.All I can see is that vshost.exe is using loads of processing time when the app hangs.
I have tried to run it on different machines, all having properly configured default printers, but none of them managed to get the grid actually printed.

Are you passing in a PrintDocument to the method? Are you sure that the printer that you have the grid set to print to is actually available and responds in other applications? All of the code that you posted is basically appearance-related, so I'm not really sure how that would cause the appliation to hang. It seems like it's waiting on a response from the printer and/or driver.
