Re: MI Disabling the print facility (again)

[Geografía y Electrónica, SA de CV]

Dear David:

Your Print menu item stays enabled because MapInfo performs certain hidden
"handlers" when you activate a mapper window.  That's the handler that
enables most buttons on the Main ButtonPad, and it also enables the print
menu item.   Unfortunately, it runs AFTER your custom handler, so your
Disable line executes, but gets overriden by MapInfo.  

So you'll need to replace the original menu item with another one that
doesn't get activated automatically.   Your new menu item will have to
call, if applicable, the standard print item.
