Question:
I am going to give a preview of a report for a user, but a small window with a printer icon shows on the top. I don’t want the report to be printed. How do I set the printer icon on the small window to disable?
Answer:
There is no way to turn off the printer icon in a preview. You might try:
1. Creating your own preview toolbar with no print button
2. Moving VFP’s Print Preview toolbar off of the visible screen (VFP names the toolbar “Print Preview”):
MOVE WINDOW "Print Preview" TO -1000,-1000
3. When “ MOUSE CLICK AT 1,8 WINDOW “Print Preview”
4. Repeat #3 for all other buttons (except print) on the toolbar
