How to access the print button in the preview

rbuser

Hello,

I'm migrating from RB 6.03 to 10.07.

I want to modify the print button in the preview.

In 6.03, I used a custom preview class, in the constructor I got the
Toolbar, and one of the components (a TSpeedButton) was the print button.

In 10.07, the components of the ppPreview are
- a TppTBRootItem
- a TppTBXChevronItem
- a TppTBXToolbarView

How can I access with one of these components the print button?

Thanks in advance
Klaus

Hi Klaus,

You can access the buttons directly from the report object or create a
custom preview as you did in RB 6.

Accessing the buttons from the report...

uses
ppPrvDlg;

procedure TForm1.ppReport1PreviewFormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
TppPrintPreview(ppReport1.PreviewForm).PrintButton.Visible := False;
end;

Hi Nico,

Thanks a lot for the answer.

In RB 6 the print button was a TSpeedButton, so I could use the
OnMouseUp event to get the shift state.

In RB 10 the print button is a TppTBXItem, which is a descendant of
TComponent, which has only OnClick.

Is there any way to get the shift state when clicking on the print button?

Thank you very much for your answer,
Klaus

I looked at the TB/TBX source but do not see a way to do that. The
architecture is such that each tool Item, such as a button, has an
associated ItemView and ItemViewer class. This provides a model view
controller type of architecture, but does makes extending things more
complex.
