Exporting Multiple WinGrids to Word

The WinGridWordWriter™ component enables you to export multiple WinGrid™ controls to a new Word document using the Export method, based on the WordDocumentWriter object within the Infragisitcs.Documents.IO assembly. The Export method accepts the WinGrid control that you wish to export and the WordDocumentWriter object as parameters.

The following code illustrates the export of two UltraGrid controls along with supporting paragraphs and titles to a new Word document.

Note

A reference to the Infragistics3.Documents.IO, Infragistics3.Win.UltraWinGrid.WordWriter and Infragistics4.Win.UltraWinGrid assemblies are required.

To begin, drag and drop from the toolbox two UltraGrid controls and an UltraGridWordWriter component onto the form. Bind the UltraGrid controls to the Products and Categories tables of the Northwind database respectively in the Form Load event handler.

In C#:

// Create a new instance of the WordDocumentWriter class
// using the static 'Create' method.
// After writing content, this instance must be closed.
WordDocumentWriter wordDocWriter = WordDocumentWriter.Create(@"C:\Samples_Projects\GridDataInWord.docx");
// Start a Word Document.
// This must be balanced with a corresponding call to EndDocument.
wordDocWriter.StartDocument();
// Begin a paragraph. This must be
// balanced with a corresponding call to EndParagraph.
wordDocWriter.StartParagraph();
// Create a new instance of the Font class
Infragistics.Documents.Word.Font font = wordDocWriter.CreateFont();
font.Bold = true;
font.Underline = Underline.Thick;
font.ForeColor = Color.Red;
// Add text with predefined font to a paragraph
wordDocWriter.AddTextRun("Products", font);
wordDocWriter.AddNewLine();
// End paragraph
wordDocWriter.EndParagraph();
// Call the Export method on WinGridWordWriter and
// pass the Grid control and WordDocumentWriter object as parameters.
this.ultraGridWordWriter1.Export(ultraGrid1, wordDocWriter);
wordDocWriter.AddEmptyParagraph();
wordDocWriter.StartParagraph();
// Add text with predefined font to a paragraph
wordDocWriter.AddTextRun("Categories", font);
wordDocWriter.AddNewLine();
wordDocWriter.EndParagraph();
//Export the second Grid to Word
this.ultraGridWordWriter1.Export(ultraGrid2, wordDocWriter);
// End the Document
wordDocWriter.EndDocument();
// Close the writer and finalize content
wordDocWriter.Close();

In Visual Basic:

wordDocWriter.StartDocument()
' Begin a paragraph. This must be
' balanced with a corresponding call to EndParagraph.
wordDocWriter.StartParagraph()
Dim font As Infragistics.Documents.Word.Font = wordDocWriter.CreateFont()
font.Bold = True
font.Underline = Underline.Thick
font.ForeColor = Color.Red
' Add text with predefined font to a paragraph
wordDocWriter.AddTextRun("Products", font)
wordDocWriter.AddNewLine()
' End paragraph
wordDocWriter.EndParagraph()
' Call the Export method on WinGridWordWriter and
' pass the Grid control and WordDocumentWriter object as parameters.
Me.ultraGridWordWriter1.Export(ultraGrid1, wordDocWriter)
wordDocWriter.AddEmptyParagraph()
wordDocWriter.StartParagraph()
' Add text with predefined font to a paragraph
wordDocWriter.AddTextRun("Categories", font)
wordDocWriter.AddNewLine()
wordDocWriter.EndParagraph()
'Export the second Grid to Word
Me.ultraGridWordWriter1.Export(ultraGrid2, wordDocWriter)
wordDocWriter.EndDocument()
' Closes the writer and finalize content
wordDocWriter.Close()
