FitWidthToPages Property (LogicalPageLayoutInfo)

Returns or sets a value that specifies the maximum number of sheets of paper that will be used to print a single logical page of the report.

Syntax

Visual Basic

'Declaration
 
Public Property FitWidthToPages As Integer

C#

public int FitWidthToPages {get; set;}

Remarks

When you print a report using UltraWinGrid, you may find that the data from the grid does not easily fit onto a single sheet of paper. Although this is usually because there are too many rows to fit vertically, it is also possible that your data consists of too many columns to fit horizonatally. For this reason, the control must sometimes make a distinction between a single "logical" page and the "physical" page (or sheets of paper) that may be required to print it. Essentially, logical pages break only on row boundaries. If you print a report with enough columns to fill the widths of three sheets of paper, the first logical page will comprise three physical pages.

The FitWidthToPages property limits the number of physical pages that a report may span. The default value for this property is 0, which indicates that the report may span as many physical pages are required to print all of the columns. If you set this property to a non-zero value, the control will scale the output so that the columns in the report will fit onto the specified number of pages. Note that scaling is proportional; if the data is reduced in width to fit, it will also be reduced in height, resulting in smaller print and more rows on each page.

Example

Following code sets some of the properties available in InitializePrintPreview event.
