Print from Print Preview

[wrv369]

Does anyone know of a way to capture the message or event when the Print button is clicked from Print Preview in an SDI? This is necessary b/c I need to differentiate b/t File|Print and Print from Print Preview. Thanks in advance.

You could try changing the ID of the file menu print from ID_FILE_PRINT to something else.

This:

void CPreviewView::OnPreviewPrint()
{
OnPreviewClose(); // force close of Preview

// cause print (can be overridden by catching the command)
CWnd* pMainWnd = AfxGetThread()->m_pMainWnd;
ASSERT_VALID(pMainWnd);
pMainWnd->SendMessage(WM_COMMAND, ID_FILE_PRINT);
}

is teh standard preview pane code for setting of the print from preview mode.

So it looks like having a different menu option to handle the print would work correctly. All it needs to do is call straight through to OnFilePrint()
