LayoutControl - LabelControl has incorrect size on printing

created 9 years ago

I am having trouble printing a layoutcontrol containing a LabelControl, that has a long text.

I have included an example. If you run the example and press the SimpleButton1, you will see a print preview of the layoutcontrol, but the label text is only one line high, but displaying 2 half lines. This is my main issue. I have set the

C#
labelControl1.AutoSizeInLayoutControl = true;  
labelControl1.AutoSizeMode = LabelAutoSizeMode.Vertical;

I need to be able to see the entire text. It is related to the width of the form. Try resizing the form and click the SimpleButton1. Sometimes the word wrapping works.

Now, I have observed some other unfortunate behaviour, that you may want to look into. In the example , set the

C#
enableDifferentStrings = false;  

To true and click  the SimpleButton1 (or SimpleButton2 or 3) a few times. Every other time, the preview is empty. This is not an issue for me in the final implementation, but you may want to look into it.  

Finally, here on the support website, as I entered this ticket, I  selected some text and marked it as code. Since it was the last in my edit field, I can not get out of Code input mode.  

Thanks

    Hello Kasper,
    Thank you for the project.
    To avoid this behavior, you can use the WYSIWYG approach. For this, set the **OptionsPrintControl.OldPrinting**property to true.
    For more information, please refer to the Default Print and Export Mode documentation topic.
    Let me know if you have additional questions.

        Yeah, well, the WYSIWYG approach is not really what we want. We have many lists on the forms, and it is nice to get them expanded, like in the new approach.
        Is there no way to get the new approach working?

          Yeah, the WYSIWYG isn't working for us. The text is too small to read. A screen shot would be better in this case.

            Hello Kasper,
            The behavior in the provided sample looks incorrect to me. I will pass this ticket to our developers for further research. We will update this thread as soon as we have any results.
