hi all,

I have a menu and I have print option in the menu. Now in the form there is a button called 'SAVE'. Now if I am printing I am getting the button too in the printout. I want to make the button in the form invisible while printing. But I want it in the form but not in the printout.How to do it? If any one can help me?

Regards
Nancy

one way od dealing this would be to hide the button before printing...

i.e.
create a trigger on the menu item.
and write the code as

set_item_property('button_name',visible,property_false);

next call the print command which prints the screen.

and then enable the button
using set_item_property('button_name',visible,property_true);

hope this helps

hi,
I tested the code which you have supplied. But it is only making the button disabled not invisible. Also after printing it remains as disabled so I cannot move from that window. Can we print a particular window by giving its height and width ? Pls help. It is really urgent.

Regards
Nancy
