disabling printer button in print preview toolbar 1

[vdeveloper]

Hi all

When I issue the "report form xxx preview" command, the results are shown in preview mode with a toolbar for navigation printing etc. How can I disable the print button in this toolbar? I need to either disable or make the button invisible based on certain conditions.

Thanks in advance

Ditto here. I've failed in my quest, hope someone can answer

Yup, it's doable!
The following is from a reply to an identical question on the neswgroups:
"You CAN remove the print button from the preview toolbar.
Roughly:
1. make a backup of your foxuser files
2. from vfp modify the print preview tool bar to remove the print button.
Results are stored in the foxuser (resource) dbf
3. save the foxuser dbf as some other name.
4. compile the resource dbf into your exe. (this is optional)
5. In your print preview commands (I use a function to do this) SET RESOURCE TO your resource dbf from step 3.
6. Do your PRINT PREVIEW
7. ReSET RESOURCE TO your usual resource file.

This works really well.

Note: This is a little more detail for step #2 above:
At the VFP Menu, choose View, ToolBars..., Check Print Preview, click on Customize, then select Print Preview. Now click on the Print button on the toolbar, and drag-and-drop it onto the "Customize Toolbar" window. It should now be gone from the toolbar.
