We've introduced a whole new page setup dialog for you in 2011, volume 1! To get there, click the button on the bottom of the Page Setup section:
which will give you:
and
You can configure a huge list of things! Margins, orientation, paper size, which can be configured for the whole document, or by section, as well as options for sections, headers, and footers of your document.
There's also a new columns dialog, reachable by clicking the "more columns" option under "Columns" in the Page Setup section:
Again, columns can be configured by section, or for the whole document.
We also now support line-numbering documents from the UI! Simply choose from the line numbers drop down, and voila!
All of these features are still available at run time, too, from the DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.API.Native namespace. For example, to set up three columns (like our example):
// Specify a measurement unit
richEditControl1.Document.Unit = DocumentUnit.Inch;
// Get the first section in a document
Section sectionDoc = richEditControl1.Document.Sections[0];
// Create columns and apply them to the document
SectionColumnCollection sectionColumnsLayout =
sectionDoc.Columns.CreateUniformColumns(sectionDoc.Page, 0.2f, 3);
sectionDoc.Columns.SetColumns(sectionColumnsLayout);
