Users often want to preview and print their data from SharpGrid. To do this we use the ARViewer. The code below demonstrates how to set up SharpGrid to use the ARViewer.

Note: SharpGrid must first be linked to the Viewer control before you can call the grid's PrintGrid() method to generate a pages collection that will be rendered to the Viewer control.

  
Private Sub Command1_Click()
'Use the PrintSettings Viewer property to link the grid with a Viewer control
Set SGGrid1.PrintSettings.Viewer = ARViewer1
If Command1.Caption = "Preview" Then
'Generates a pages collection and render it to the linked Viewer control.
SGGrid1.PrintSettings.PrintGrid
'Show the ARViewer
ARViewer1.Visible = True
'Change the button caption
Command1.Caption = "Grid"
'Hide the ARViewer
ARViewer1.Visible = False
'Change the button caption
Command1.Caption = "Preview"
End If
End Sub 

The attached sample uses the code above to generate a preview of SharpGrid for printing.
