Disabling "print" button in .net print preview dialog

Question

I'm working on a C# / .net app. I want the user to be able to print preview, but I don't want the user to be able to print from the print straight from the preview dialog.

The print preview dialog has a little printer button on it that sends the previewed pages straight to the printer. Question is, is there a way to get rid of / disable / intercept this button click?

Answer 1

You can access the print button, and any other button from a print preview control by searching in the container's controls collection.

For the print button:

(ToolStripButton)((ToolStrip)printPreviewDialog1.Controls[1]).Items[0]

so, to disable it,

((ToolStripButton)((ToolStrip)printPreviewDialog1.Controls[1]).Items[0]).Enabled = false;
