>>>>>Hi,
>>>>>
>>>>>I am working on a program that consists of a grid. That is it, the program is just one grid. In this grid the user will see all work orders assigned to him/her. One of the columns of the grid will allow the user to print any of the work orders in the grid.
>>>>>But sometimes, a user does not want to print but simply a view the order; in a report preview format. And the key is that I don't want to have two button - that is to take two columns - one for print, one for preview. In my initial test, I do the preview by using the doPDF driver installed on my PC. So, by choosing this driver, I can view without printing. But I do not want to "force" the customer to install a doPDF or some other driver that allows to convert a print to a PDF.
>>>>>Instead I want all the functionality be in the program.

>>>>>I can add a small menu, when user clicks on this button that will ask if user want to Print or Preview.

>>>>>So, my question, how else would you suggest having both Print and/or Preview in one button of the grid?

>>>Support I have add FoxyPreviewer. How - from the UI-stand point - will the program accomplish both Print and Preview from the same button?
>>Dimitry,
>>start FP with your one button.
>>Than the user can decide to preview, just close FP, or to print. User can even select what kind of printing: direct print or in a e.g. PDF format.
