How can I prevent from the user to print from PrintPreviewDialog

Hi,

How can I prevent from the user to print from PrintPreviewDialog

I am using the code below:

        Dim PPD As New PrintPreviewDialog
        PPD.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
        PPD.Document = PrintDocument1
        PPD.ShowDialog()

When the PrintPreviewDialog show the Document, the user can print the Document.

How can I prevent from the user to print from PrintPreviewDialog?

Why do you want to do this? If you only want them to be able to preview the document, use the PrintPreviewControl instead of the PrintPreviewDialog.

Hi,

I have several reasons.

Great, thanks for elaborating.

Hi,

Sorry

I want that the user will print from another place (button), because the program needs to save some data before printing.

Ah, well, it sounds like the PrintPreviewControl would be the way for you to go then.

This should work.

            CType(PPD.Controls(1), ToolStrip).Items(0).Enabled = False
            PPD.ShowDialog()

I'll make a change in the post to reflect that this works in VS 2008 as well.
