Sample

Description

AutoSizeTable

The sample shows how to adjust the widths of a table's columns based on their content. The sample provides a method AutoSizeTable that can be used as-in in any application that needs to automatically size tables based on their content.

CoordinatesOfCharsInText

Shows how to use the GetCharRect() method (advanced).

The sample shows how to use the GetCharRect() method available on RenderText and RenderParagraph classes, which allows to find out the position and size of individual characters in the text. In the sample, a red rectangle is drawn around each character.

DataBinding

The sample demonstrates binding to a simple list (including binding to an empty list), binding to a MS Access database, the use of grouping, aggregate functions, and binding of table row/column groups. This sample requires a 2006 v3 version (C1Preview.2 2.0.20063.41002) or later.

Hyperlinks

Shows how to create various types of hyperlinks

The sample demonstrates how to create and set up several types of hyperlinks supported by C1PrintDocument and the preview controls: hyperlinks to anchors within the same document, hyperlinks to anchors in other C1PrintDocument objects, hyperlinks to locations within the document (render objects, pages), hyperlinks to external files/URLs.

ObjectCoordinates

The sample shows how to connect the coordinates in the preview pane with the objects in the C1PrintDocument being previewed. Methods are provided that find the RenderObject currently under the mouse, query the properties of the object, highlight it in the preview, and manipulate it: change the object's background color, text, or other properties. The changes are immediately reflected in the document.

Note that for highlighting to work this sample requires a 2006 v2 version (C1Preview.2.0.20062.40855) or later.

PageLayout1

Shows how to use the PageLayouts property.

The sample creates a document with different page layouts for the first page, even pages and odd pages. The different layouts are specified declaratively via the PageLayouts property of C1PrintDocument, no even handling is involved.

PageLayout2

Shows how to use the LayoutChangeBefore property of RenderObject.

The sample creates a document with an object that forces a page break, and a different page layout that is "nested" within the current layout, so that the current layout is automatically restored when the nested object is over.

RenderObjects

Introduces most of the RenderObject types provided by C1PrintDocument.

The sample creates and previews a C1PrintDocument, in which most of the RenderObject types provided by C1PrintDocument are included: RenderArea, RenderText, RenderGraphics, RenderEmpty, RenderImage, RenderRichText, RenderPolygon, RenderTable, RenderParagraph.

RenderTOC

Shows how to use the RenderToc object.

The sample demonstrates how to create the table of contents for a document using the dedicated RenderToc render object.

RotatedText

The sample shows how to insert rotated text into C1PrintDocument.Text rotated at different angles is shown.

Stacking

Shows how to use stacking rules for render objects' positioning

The sample demonstrates how to use the RenderObject.Stacking property to set stacking rules for block (top to bottom and left to right) and inline (left to right) positioning of objects. Relative positioning of objects is also demonstrated.

Tables1

Shows how to create tables, set up table headers and footers.

The sample creates and previews a C1PrintDocument with a table. Demonstrates how to set up table headers (including running headers) and footers. Shows how to add orphan control (the minimum rows printed on the same page before the footer is specified).

Tables2

The sample shows the basic features of tables in C1PrintDocument.

The following features of tables are demonstrated:

•      Table borders (GridLines property, allowing to specify the 4 outer and 2 inner lines).

•      Borders around individual cells and groups of cells.

•      Style attributes (including borders) for groups of disconnected cells.

•      Cells spanning rows and columns.

•      Content alignment within the cells (spanned or otherwise).

•      Table headers and footers.

•      Tags (such as page number/total page count) in table footer.

•      Style attributes: borders, font and background images.

Tables3

Shows multiple inheritance of styles in C1PrintDocument tables.

The sample demonstrates multiple inheritance of styles in tables. A table with some test data is inserted into the document. Some style attributes are redefined for the styles of a row, a column, and a cell group. Cells at the intersections of the groups inherit styles for all, combining them.

TabPosition

Shows how to use the TabPosition property of text rendering objects.

The sample creates a document with a RenderParagraph object, on which the TabPositions property is defined, specifying the tab positions calculated on document reflow depending on the current page width.

VisibleRowsCols

Demonstrates the Visible property of table rows/columns.

The sample shows the Visible property of RenderTables rows and columns, that allows to you hide table rows and columns without removing them from the table. This sample requires a 2006 v3 version (C1Preview.2 2.0.20063.41002) or later.

WideTables

Shows how to create wide tables spanning several pages

The sample demonstrates the feature of C1PrintDocument which allows rendering of wide objects spanning multiple pages horizontally. To enable this feature, the object's CanSplitHorz property should be set to True. The preview is also adjusted to better show wide objects (margins are hidden, the gap between pages set to zero, and the end user is prevented from showing the margins).

WrapperDoc

This sample provides source code for a very simple wrapper around the new C1PrintDocument implementing some of the RenderBlock/Measure methods from the "classic" (old) C1PrintDocument. This sample may be especially useful to facilitate conversions of applications using the classic preview to the new preview.

ZeroWidthRowsCols

Demonstrates the treatment of table columns with zero width.

The sample shows that columns with zero width/rows with zero height are not rendered at all (as if their Visible property were set to False). This sample requires a 2006 v3 version (C1Preview.2 2.0.20063.41002) or later.
