FarPoint.Win.Spread Assembly > FarPoint.Win.Spread Namespace > PrintInfo Class : ShowColor Property


Glossary Item Box

Gets or sets whether to print the colors as they appear on the screen.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Public Property ShowColor As Boolean
Visual Basic (Usage)Copy Code
Dim instance As PrintInfo
Dim value As Boolean
 
instance.ShowColor = value
 
value = instance.ShowColor
C# 
public bool ShowColor {get; set;}

Property Value

Boolean: true to print the colors; false otherwise

Remarks

When this property is set to false, the colors specified within the Spread component are ignored, the sheet prints using black and white, and the headers print in shades of gray. When this property is set to true and the sheet is not printed on a color printer, the colors print as dithered patterns. The ShowColor property works when exporting to PDF or an Excel-formatted file.

Example

This example shows how to define the settings for customizing the printed page layout.
C#Copy Code
// Define the printer settings
FarPoint.Win.Spread.PrintInfo printset = new FarPoint.Win.Spread.PrintInfo();
FarPoint.Win.Spread.PrintMargin printmar = new FarPoint.Win.Spread.PrintMargin();

printmar.Left = 10;
printmar.Right = 10;
printmar.Top = 20;
printmar.Bottom = 40;

printset.Centering = FarPoint.Win.Spread.Centering.Both;
printset.FirstPageNumber = 1;
printset.Margin = printmar;
printset.Opacity = 60;
printset.Orientation = FarPoint.Win.Spread.PrintOrientation.Portrait;
printset.ShowBorder = false;
printset.ShowColor = false;
printset.ShowColumnHeader = FarPoint.Win.Spread.PrintHeader.Hide;
printset.ShowRowHeader = FarPoint.Win.Spread.PrintHeader.Hide;
printset.ShowGrid = true;
printset.ShowShadows = false;
printset.ZoomFactor = 2;
