                                  • Hello,
                                    I have application which sends report by e-mail to clients every 7 days. This application doesn't have any user interface. Only every period of time make reports and sends to clients (as attachment).
                                    Now I prepare to use your printing system so ...
                                    Can I export any table report or chart report to the file(PDF or XML) without show it on the screen?

                                    Best Regards
                                    Wieslaw

                                  Hello Wieslaw.

                                  Thank you for your message. Yes, it is possible to export the TcxGrid without showing it. Just call the corresponding ReportLink's ExportToPDF method to export data to PDF. If you wish to export data to XML, use the ExportGridToXML method (cxGridExportLink.pas).

                                  Best regards,
                                  Ingvar.

                                  Hello,
                                  Thank you for quickly answer.
                                  Everything working fine ... but I have small problem.
                                  When try to print any chart and chart doesen't fit(it's too large) to actual window(form) the printing system print also cut the chart.
                                  When I enlarge window and chart fit do the window everything is ok.

                                  So ... is it possible to print(export) all chart dosen't care about windows size from which I print(export).
                                  I setup: PrinterPage.ScaleMode=smFit;

                                  Best Regards
                                  Wieslaw

                                Hello,

                                Thank you for your reply.
                                This behavior is caused by the fact that a ReportLink just obtains a picture (e.g. bitmap) from the source chart. Then, the ExpressPrinting System processes it as a single picture and thus, the image may be cut off if it does not fit the cxGrid dimensions.

                                As a solution I can suggest the following:

                                1. Use the ReportLink’s PrinterPage.RealPageSizePixels property to obtain the size of the report’s page in pixels;
                                2. Create a temporary invisible chart of the exact same size or temporary enlarge the current chart;
                                3. Use this chart as a source for the ReportLink;
                                4. Rollback changes if necessary.

                                Hope, this approach will allow you to obtain a picture which will fit the report’s page better.

                                Best Regards,
                                Paulo

                                  Hello,

                                  I already try your sugestion but ... RealPageSizePixels is read only propert so I can't change it.

                                  Do you have any other idea? ...it's important for me.

                                  Best Regards

                                  Wieslaw

                                  It is not necessary to change the PrinterPage.RealPageSizePixels property. I suggest you obtain this value and use it to temporarily enlarge the chart.
