Help with MS applications 1

[macoleiva]

Hello Everyone...
I need Help in manipulating ms word from my delphi aplication...
what i need to do is to be able to view MS word, excel and powerpoint documents from my delphi application.
Currently i am using a tolecontainer to do so and it works well... the thing is that i cant let the user print the document.
does any one knows how can i block the print button from the applications???

Thx a lot...

Now explain to me why would you want to block the print button if you want the users to be able to print, I dont understand what you are trying to achieve here?

Thx a lot man! i apreciate it!

I presume that you do need to be able to Save it? I disabled the AllowActiveDoc parametre and set AutoActivate to GetFocus and that disabled the Print button but also the save button and some others.

the thing is that i cant let the user print the document.

Please try and be a little less ambiguous when you make a request - this was the reason for BobbaFet's confusion. The above statement can be taken in two ways:
a) I can't work out how to let the user print the document
b) The user must not be allowed to print the document

I'm not trying to be critical for the sake of it, but it is in everyone's interests to be as clear as possible. Posing questions with greater clarity is more likely to generate a quicker and more appropriate response.
