Question

2.33/5 (2 votes)

See more:

1. I want to access the button Print on printdialog and to hide it, so it will only be buttons Cancel and Apply.
2. After user click`s the button Apply, to hide/close printdialog.

additional information moved from comment below
I am using the dialog that contains buttons Print, Cancel and Apply. Regardless to your operating system.

I tried something like:

C#

Button btP = (Button)printDialog1.Container.Components["Print"];

but there`s error: printDialog1.Container is null

I can`t find the names of the buttons,... on printdialog.

That's not going to be easy, and it may be a very, very silly idea.

Certainly, on my system (vanilla Win7) the dialog that results from PrintDialog.ShowDialog contains no "Apply" button - just "OK" and "Cancel" so disabling or hiding the "Print" button won't work.

If you need a dialog that you can customise, then I would strongly suggest creating your own, rather than relying on hacking into features which may not be there in the future.

This may help you to use print dialog and access the printing here[^]

And for button apply action you can use runtime events control of button here is a sample here[^]
for hiding buttons and showing them you can apply show and hide property of buttons.

I hope it helps you a bit

Generate another event in last event to dispose the buttons after click event.

Print, Cancel, Apply? I don't even have that on my PrintDialog.

But maybe this articlel on hacking FontDialog can get you started. But I strongly suggest you create your own PrintDialog[^]
