Detect when Printer Preview Button is Clicked

General

Hello:

Is it possible to know when the “Preview” button is clicked in the Printer dialog box?

I’m implementing some code to print the text within a DesktopTextArea and I’d like to know if the user clicked the “Preview” button because there is different functionality I’d like to present them with if they click that button.

I’m running Linux Mint 22.3. This button is not unique to Mint, but that’s the distro I’m currently testing with.

This is the code I use to display the Printer dialog box:

var ps As New PrinterSetup
var page As Graphics = ps.ShowPrinterDialog(self)

report preview
report preview745×487 26.6 KB

In short, not easily; not natively in Xojo; and possibly not at all. What are you trying to accomplish? I don’t think I’ve ever seen a system that behaved differently printing vs. preview; the preview is supposed to be a very faithful rendition of what will print and should function exactly the same.
