You can use an extension handler to manipulate the preview container on VFP
9 reports. An extension handler is nothing more than a class, based on the
VFP base custom class, which has a few specific methods. See "Leveraging the
Default Preview Container" in the VFP 9 help file for more information on
what methods need to exist. In your extension handler class, add the
following line to the Show method.
This.PreviewForm.AllowPrintFromPreview = .f.
Now use the following code to instantiate your extension handler and hook it
up to the preview container which is then hooked up to the report listener.
*-- Using an extension handler
LOCAL loPreviewContainer, ;
loReportListener, ;
loExtensionHandler
SET CLASSLIB TO <<Your Class library>>
*-- Create the preview container
DO (_REPORTPREVIEW) WITH loPreviewContainer
*-- Invoke the Extension Handler
loExtensionHandler = CREATEOBJECT('YourExtensionHandler')
*-- Hook the Extension Handler to the preview container
m.loPreviewContainer.SetExtensionHandler(m.loExtensionHandler)
*-- Create the Report Listener for the preview
DO (_ReportOutput) WITH 1, loReportListener
*-- Assign the preview container to the listener
m.loReportListener.PreviewContainer = m.loPreviewContainer
*-- Run the report
REPORT FORM Whatever OBJECT m.loReportListener PREVIEW
