UseMax Property

Gets or sets whether to print only rows that contain data.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Property UseMax As Boolean

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

public bool UseMax {get; set;}

Property Value

Boolean: true to print only columns and rows up to the maximum; false to ignore the maximum limit

Remarks

Setting this property to true often saves time and paper. When this property is set to true, empty cells beyond the columns and rows containing data are not printed. When this property is set to false, what is printed is determined by the setting of the PrintType property.

This property can override the PrintType property. For example, if you set the Spread component to print columns 0 through 10 and rows 0 through 100, but there is only data in columns 0 through 5 and rows 0 through 50 and the UseMax property is set to true, only columns 0 through 5 and rows 0 through 50 are printed.

Example

This example shows how to specify that only part of the sheet prints.

// Typically, not all of these settings are used together but are included here for illustration purposes

// Create the printer settings object
FarPoint.Win.Spread.PrintInfo printset = new FarPoint.Win.Spread.PrintInfo(); 

// Allow printing of only 20 columns and 20 rows of cells
printset.ColStart = 1;
printset.ColEnd = 20;
printset.RowStart = 1;
printset.RowEnd = 20;
printset.PrintType = FarPoint.Win.Spread.PrintType.CellRange;

// Allow printing of only five pages
printset.PageStart = 1;
printset.PageEnd = 5;

// Allow printing of the cell notes together at the end
printset.PrintNotes = FarPoint.Win.Spread.PrintNotes.AtEnd;

// Allow printing of the shapes
printset.PrintShapes = true;

// Allow printing of only rows and columns up to the last ones with data 
printset.UseMax = True;

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

Visual Basic

' Typically, not all of these settings are used together but are included here for illustration purposes

' Create the printer settings object
Dim printset As New FarPoint.Win.Spread.PrintInfo

' Allow printing of only 20 columns and 20 rows of cells
printset.ColEnd = 20
printset.ColStart = 1
printset.RowStart = 1
printset.RowEnd = 20
printset.PrintType = FarPoint.Win.Spread.PrintType.CellRange

' Allow printing of only five pages
printset.PageStart = 1
printset.PageEnd = 5

' Allow printing of the cell notes together at the end
printset.PrintNotes = FarPoint.Win.Spread.PrintNotes.AtEnd

' Allow printing of the shapes
printset.PrintShapes = True

' Allow printing of only rows and columns up to the last ones with data 
printset.UseMax = true

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