public void ShowPrintPreview()

Public Sub ShowPrintPreview

Remarks

The Print Preview window displays the scheduler as it will appear when it’s printed. The scheduler can be previewed and printed only if the XtraPrinting Library is available. To verify that printing and previewing the scheduler is possible, use the SchedulerControl.IsPrintingAvailable property.

The Print Preview dialog allows you to print the Scheduler control, or save it as PDF or image.

To specify print options, invoke the Page Setup Dialog, modify SchedulerControl.PrintStyles or create a custom SchedulerPrintStyle.

class MyDailyPrintStyle : DevExpress.XtraScheduler.Printing.DailyPrintStyle
{
    public MyDailyPrintStyle()
        : base(false) {
        // Print information on appointments which do not fall in the PrintTime interval.
        base.PrintAllAppointments = true;
        // Hide the reference mini-calendar.
        base.CalendarHeaderVisible = false;
        // Do not use time slots displayed in the Day view of the SchedulerControl.
        base.UseActiveViewTimeScale = false;
        // Determine the row height (specify the time interval of a time slot).
        base.TimeSlots.Clear();
        base.TimeSlots.Add(TimeSpan.FromMinutes(15), "15Minutes");
        // Specify the time interval to print.
        base.PrintTime = new DevExpress.XtraScheduler.TimeOfDayInterval(TimeSpan.FromHours(12), TimeSpan.FromHours(14));
