Hi,

In my application I have a view that handle the ID_FILE_PRINT (OnFilePrint()
) command itself.
The view is a CFormView derived class, and the reason I am doing this is to
let the user choose from a dialog box what he would like to print.

In the dialog box the user selects the items he wants to print and clicks on
either "Print" or
"Print Preview".

When the user selects "Print" or "Print Preview" I set some variables in the
class that tells what is supposed to be printed and call CView::OnFilePrint
or CView::OnFilePrintPreview(). Thus the Framework will handle the print
loop for me.

My problem arises if the user selects "Print" in the Print Preview toolbar.
The CPreviewView class will then end the Preview mode and send the command
ID_FILE_PRINT to the main window. When this arrives to the application it
will direct the command to my view and my dialog box for selecting items to
be printed will show up again.
But the user had already selected what to print. 

What I really would like is that the print loop to be started immediately
when exiting the preview mode (i.e the CView::OnFilePrint() should be called
instead of CMyView::OnFilePrint() )

Does anyone has a suggestion on how to solve this?
I can see one ugly solution to this, which I would not like to use, and that
is copying the Preview source into my own project and modify it to suit my
needs. If at all possible I DO NOT WANT TO DO THAT !

Hi,

Could you change the ID of your menu print item, and if applicable
toolbar button, to something like ID_MY_FILE_PRINT, then when handling
that message use your dialog to choose what to print?  Then you could
put back the default implementation of OnFilePrint, so that when
CPreviewView sends ID_FILE_PRINT it will just print.
