Capturing Cancel in Print Setup step...

[Matt Klein]

Does anyone know if there is a way to tell if someone clicks on the Cancel button during a script in the Print Setup dialog box? I have been able to capture the Cancel clicked in the Print dialog box. Can't seem to do it with the Print Setup dialog box.

Set Error Capture [on]

Print Setup

If [status (CurrentError) <> 0 ]

..Show Message ["ouch"]

End If

Thanks. The only problem is that the Restore option can't be selected in the Print Setup step. If it is, then even if the user clicks Cancel in the dialog box, it returns "0" instead of "1". That's a problem for me since I use the Restore option to make certain that either Current Record or Records Being Browsed is selected in the Print dialog box.

I suggest you make a separate script that restores your desired Page Setup, just one-line, Print Setup [restore, no dialog]. Let's call it "Tall, Current." Now change your script:

Perform Script ["Tall, Current"]

Set Error Capture [on]

Print Setup

If [status (CurrentError) <> 0 ]

..Show Message ["ouch"]

End If
