An extension handler is nothing more than a class, based on the VFP base custom class, which has a few specific methods. See "Leveraging the Default Preview Container" in the VFP 9 help file for more information on what methods need to exist. In your extension handler class, add the following line to the Show method. This.PreviewForm.AllowPrintFromPreview = .f. Now use the following code to instantiate your extension handler and hook it up to the preview container which is then hooked up to the report listener. *-- Using an extension handler LOCAL loPreviewContainer, ; loReportListener, ; loExtensionHandler SET CLASSLIB TO <<Your Class library>> *-- Create the preview container DO (_REPORTPREVIEW) WITH loPreviewContainer *-- Invoke the Extension Handler loExtensionHandler = CREATEOBJECT('YourExtensionHandler') *-- Hook the Extension Handler to the preview container m.loPreviewContainer.SetExtensionHandler(m.loExtensionHandler) *-- Create the Report Listener for the preview DO (_ReportOutput) WITH 1, loReportListener *-- Assign the preview container to the listener m.loReportListener.PreviewContainer = m.loPreviewContainer *-- Run the report REPORT FORM Whatever OBJECT m.loReportListener PREVIEW Cathy Pountney > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On > Behalf Of James E Harvey > Sent: Tuesday, September 22, 2009 11:34 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: RE: No print report option > > So what I'm trying to accomplish is to suppress the printer button on the > toolbar? > > James E Harvey > Hanover Shoe Farms, Inc. > M.I.S./Corresponding Officer > Off: 717-637-8931 > fax: 717-637-6766 > email: [email protected] > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf > Of James E Harvey > Sent: Tuesday, September 22, 2009 11:15 AM > To: 'ProFox Email List' > Subject: No print report option > > I'm using VFP9 sp2 with hotfix. > > How can I allow a user to preview a report, but not print? > > This is what I usually use, "Report form sales to print prompt preview" > > The reason for NOT allowing the printing is because the report is over > 1,000 > pages long, and we don't want people wasting paper.
