The ExpressPrinting System allows you to transform your existing user interface into eye-catching reports that closely resemble the elements of your application users see everyday. When coupled with the ExpressQuantumGrid/ExpressQuantumTreeList and ExpressMasterView, the ExpressPrinting System becomes a tabular reporting tool of unprecedented flexibility.



The ExpressPrinting System was designed with the same attention to detail and easy-to-use features as all other Developer Express products. Only a few steps are needed to add the full-featured printing functionality of the ExpressPrinting System to your applications. The first step is to drop a dxComponentPrinter component onto a form. Second, create a new report link and link it to the component you want to print via property settings. Finally, in an appropriate event handler, insert a call to the Preview method of the dxComponentPrinter component. Presto! A professional and polished view of your component as it will be printed appears on screen.
