<h5 id="GrapeCity_ActiveReports_PrinterSettings_UseXpDialog_remarks">Remarks</h5>
<div class="markdown level1 remarks"><p>The XP style print dialog provides a user interface consistent with Windows XP, offering a simpler and possibly more familiar option for users accustomed
to that environment. This property allows applications to maintain a consistent user experience across different versions of Windows by opting for the
classic XP style dialog. It is important to note that while the XP style dialog may offer a nostalgic or consistent experience for some users, newer versions
of the print dialog provide enhancements and features not available in the XP style dialog.
Consider the target audience and the specific needs of the application when deciding whether to enable this option.</p>
