Try to get PrintSettings

Radek

Hi,

Our client would like to save PrintSettings like PrintMode, PagesOnSheet, etc from PrintDialog.

I know that I can set PrintMode, PagesOnSheet from code.
Is there any way to read those properties from PrintDialog ? (if yes I can save them to data base and use them next time and set in code)

everytime you attach report object to PreviewControl:

if (previewControl1.Report != null)
{
    FastReport.PrintSettings settings = previewControl1.Report.PrintSettings;                
    System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer serializer = new System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer(typeof(FastReport.PrintSettings));
    using (System.IO.TextWriter writer = new System.IO.StreamWriter(@"d:\printersetting.xml"))
    {
        serializer.Serialize(writer, settings);
    }
    previewControl1.Clear();
    previewControl1.Report.Dispose();
}

FastReport.Report report = new FastReport.Report();
// unfortunately, we can't deserialize to report.PrintSettings 
report.Preview = previewControl1;
report.Load("frxfile");
report.RegisterData(dataSet);
report.Show();

Thank you.

But I found, if I change in designer 'Printer Setup' those options are save inside .frx, so problem solved
