I got print preview issue when I try to use codejock to reskin my MFC 6.0 application. When I click Print Preview, the print preview page looks wierd like the following. I wonder how can I hide the command bar at this moment and still enable the commandbar after I close the print preview. Actually I check the codejock samples, when I click print preview, it did hide the commandbar on the mainframe, in the code it only called CView::OnFilePrintPreview, which is the same as I did, I can't see any special processing on the commandbar though. Thanks for your help! Pearl

Hi,

Check may be you override CMainFrame::OnSetPreviewMode method and don't call base CXTPFrameWnd method.

i, I check the code, actually OnSetPreviewMode wasn't being overwrited, and CXTPFrameWnd wasn't applied either. Could you please inform me what I will check next step? Thanks a lot for your help!

I see you have standard File and Help menus. so obviously you do something wrong in your code. Copy code from our samples to make it work same.

Ok, let me clarify my problems. I do have a customized IDR_PRINTPREVIEW menu in the resource, once PrintPreview clicked, that menu will automatically appeared on the top of the printPreiew page. The thing is even when I remove that menu from the resource, that menu is not there but the commandbar is still there. Therefor, my first question is how can I hide that commandbar on the PrintPreview page, and the second question is that actually I do need a customized IDR_PRINTPREVIEW menu on the top of the PrintPreview page, from your codejock samples there are no any menus on the PrintPreview page, so I don't know how to add one there?

Thanks for your help

Hi, thanks for your patience. I have to say sorry that I made a mistake when I was checking the code for OnSetPreviewMode. There do have an overwitre OnSetPreviewMode in the code. It is attached as the following:

void CMainFrame::OnSetPreviewMode(BOOL bPreview, CPrintPreviewState* pState)
{
AfxSetResourceHandle( AfxGetInstanceHandle() );
CMDIFrameWnd::OnSetPreviewMode(bPreview, pState);

if (bPreview) {
  CMenu preview_menu;
  preview_menu.LoadMenu( MAKEINTRESOURCE( IDR_PRINTPREVIEW) );
    SetMenu(&preview_menu);
    m_hAccelTable = NULL;
    LoadAccelTable(MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_PRINT_PREVIEW_ACCEL));
}
}

Right, if I comment out this one, the commandbar will disappear on PrintPreview page. However, the problem is I do need to overwite OnSetPreviewMode(), because originally Print Preview page has a customized menu there, and I am not supposed to change the way it works.

Thanks for your help

Hi,

if CMainFrame is CXTPMDIFrameWnd derived calss just call its OnSetPreviewMode method instead of CMDIFrameWnd.
