BestFitCols Property

Gets or sets whether column widths are adjusted to fit the longest string width for printing.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Property BestFitCols As Boolean

'Usage
 
Dim instance As PrintInfo
Dim value As Boolean
 
instance.BestFitCols = value
 
value = instance.BestFitCols

public bool BestFitCols {get; set;}

Property Value

Boolean: true to automatically adjust column widths; false otherwise

Remarks

This property sets the width of columns. To size the rows to the tallest row height, use the BestFitRows property.

For information on the optimization rule (SmartPrintRule) that applies to using this property to optimize the printing, refer to BestFitColumnRule Class.

Example

This example shows how to define the settings for optimizing the printing.

// Typically you would use one type of optimization; they are all shown here for illustration only

// Define the printer settings for optimization
FarPoint.Win.Spread.PrintInfo printset = new FarPoint.Win.Spread.PrintInfo();
FarPoint.Win.Spread.SmartPrintRulesCollection prules = new FarPoint.Win.Spread.SmartPrintRulesCollection(); 

// ... use best fit of columns and rows
printset.BestFitCols = true;
printset.BestFitRows = true;

// ... or check by page size
printset.SmartPrintPagesTall = 1; 
printset.SmartPrintPagesWide = 1; 

// ... or use the rules defined
prules.Add(new FarPoint.Win.Spread.BestFitColumnRule(FarPoint.Win.Spread.ResetOption.None)); 
prules.Add(new FarPoint.Win.Spread.LandscapeRule(FarPoint.Win.Spread.ResetOption.Current)); 
prules.Add(new FarPoint.Win.Spread.ScaleRule(FarPoint.Win.Spread.ResetOption.None, 1, 0.6, 0.1)); 
printset.SmartPrintRules = prules;
printset.UseSmartPrint = true;

// Assign the printer settings to the sheet and print it
fpSpread1.Sheets[0].PrintInfo = printset;
fpSpread1.PrintSheet(0);

Visual Basic

' Typically you would use one type of optimization; they are all shown here for illustration only

' Define the printer settings for optimization
Dim printset As New FarPoint.Win.Spread.PrintInfo()
Dim prules As New FarPoint.Win.Spread.SmartPrintRulesCollection

' ... use best fit of columns and rows
printset.BestFitCols = True
printset.BestFitRows = True

' ... or check by page size
printset.SmartPrintPagesTall = 1
printset.SmartPrintPagesWide = 1

' ... or use the rules defined
prules.Add(New FarPoint.Win.Spread.BestFitColumnRule(FarPoint.Win.Spread.ResetOption.None)) 
prules.Add(New FarPoint.Win.Spread.LandscapeRule(FarPoint.Win.Spread.ResetOption.Current))
prules.Add(New FarPoint.Win.Spread.ScaleRule(FarPoint.Win.Spread.ResetOption.None, 1, 0.6, 0.1))
printset.SmartPrintRules = prules
printset.UseSmartPrint = True

' Assign the printer settings to the sheet and print it
FpSpread1.Sheets(0).PrintInfo = printset
FpSpread1.PrintSheet(0)
