    To add outline entries to the Outline tab, use the OutlineNodeCollection.Add method.

    1. From the Toolbox, add the C1PrintPreviewControl and C1PrintDocument controls to your project.
    2. Click C1PrintPreviewControl1 to select it and in the Properties window set its Document property to C1PrintDocument1.
    3. Add the following code to the Form_Load event:

      To write code in Visual Basic

      Visual Basic
      Copy Code 
      ' Make the document.    
MakeDoc()

' Generate the document.    
Me.C1PrintDocument1.Generate()

      To write code in C#

      C#
      Copy Code 
      // Make the document.    
MakeDoc();

// Generate the document.    
this.c1PrintDocument1.Generate();
    4. Add the MakeDoc subroutine, which uses the OutlineNodeCollection.Add method to add outline entries to the Outline tab:

      To write code in Visual Basic

      Visual Basic
      Copy Code 
      Private Sub MakeDoc()

   ' Create RenderText1.    
   Dim rt1 As New C1.C1Preview.RenderText    
   rt1.Text = "This is RenderText1."

   ' Add an outline entry point for RenderText1.    
   Me.C1PrintDocument1.Outlines.Add("RenderText1", rt1)

   ' Insert a page break.    
   rt1.BreakAfter = C1.C1Preview.BreakEnum.Page

   ' Create RenderText2.    
   Dim rt2 As New C1.C1Preview.RenderText    
   rt2.Text = "This is RenderText2."

   ' Add an outline entry point for RenderText2.    
   Me.C1PrintDocument1.Outlines.Add("RenderText2", rt2)

   ' Add the RenderText to the document.    
   Me.C1PrintDocument1.Body.Children.Add(rt1)    
   Me.C1PrintDocument1.Body.Children.Add(rt2)    
End Sub

      To write code in C#

      C#
      Copy Code 
      private void MakeDoc()    
{

   // Create RenderText1.    
   C1.C1Preview.RenderText rt1 = new C1.C1Preview.RenderText();    
   rt1.Text = "This is RenderText1.";

   // Add an outline entry point for RenderText1.    
   this.c1PrintDocument1.Outlines.Add("RenderText1", rt1);

   // Add a page break.    
   rt1.BreakAfter = C1.C1Preview.BreakEnum.Page;

   // Create RenderText2.    
   C1.C1Preview.RenderText rt2 = new C1.C1Preview.RenderText();    
   rt2.Text = "This is RenderText2.";

   // Add an outline entry point for RenderText2.    
   this.c1PrintDocument1.Outlines.Add("RenderText2", rt2);

   // Add the RenderText to the document.    
   this.c1PrintDocument1.Body.Children.Add(rt1);    
   this.c1PrintDocument1.Body.Children.Add(rt2);    
}

    The outline entries "RenderText1" and "RenderText2" are added to the Outline tab:
