  Just select a row/column and right-click it to display the context menu. You will be able to insert a new row/column before or after the selected row/column.

  Thanks!
  
  
  Ok. Another problem. I want to resize the second column to be the width of the page without resizing column 1.
  
  I cannot seem to find the combination of resizing just 1 column. If I select the whole table, and drag the handle, then column 1 resizes.
  
  If I drag the splitter between the columns to make column 1 smaller again, then the overall size shrinks.
  
  If I select a cell in column 2 and try to resize, it will only let me resize to about 50 % of the page size.
  
  I'd like to "freeze" the size of column 1 so I can resize column 2 in a 2x2 table.

  This way is correct, but you need to unlock the column width first. Select the column 2, go to Properties window and increase the MaxWidth property.

  1. When using ManualBuild event, TableCell's Printable is no use,
  it is still printed when Printable = False.
  
  2. I want to draw different text when output to printer or preview,
  I use TableCell's IsPrinting property in MyFormat 's FormatValue (inherited from FormatBase) ,
  IsPrinting is still false using ManualBuild event when call Report.Print(),
  If i don't use ManualBuild event, it's ok.
  
  3. I want to log some messages when report output to printer or export to files,
  but i don't log messages when preview,
  can you support a method making me know the report output type(Printer, Export, Preview)?

  Hello,
  
  1) Printable property is not used in table & matrix.
  2) You cannot change the text when printing. The only way is to use two overlapped objects, one with Printable=true, another with Printable=false.
  3) I will try to add something in the further builds.

  Another problem:
  I want to call PrintSetting's Dialog alone, not show the dialog when each print.
  yes, i can set PrintSetting's ShowDialog = false,
  but no method let me call the dialog.
  
  Can you let me show PrintSetting dialog alone?

  Sorry,
  
  It's not possible now. You will loose printer settings made in this dialog (via the "Settings..." button).

  ok.
  But can you support an event after printer setting dialog?
  I want to get PrinterSetting's copies and check if user can print continue,
  because we set a max print copies that user can print.

  Ok, I'll better add separate ShowPrintDialog/PrintPrepared methods in the next build.
