CrystalReportViewer & Shortcut

[patrick_simons2]

Hi,

is it possible to assign a shortcut f.ex. "CTRL-P" to the print toolbar button, to print out (with the dialog-window) what you see in the viewer, if as you have clicked the print button directly?

PS. I'm using CR 2008 SP4 with VS 2008 (RAS inproc)

Hello Pat

You could also create yor own button and implement this functionality. To add a button to the view, use the code below

Private Sub DoWork(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)        
	MessageBox.Show("Do your code here")    
End Sub 

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles

	For Each ctrl As Control In CrystalReportViewer1.Controls
		If TypeOf ctrl Is Windows.Forms.ToolStrip Then
			Dim btnNew As New ToolStripButton
			btnNew.Text = "My Button"
			CType(ctrl, ToolStrip).Items.Add(btnNew)
			AddHandler ctrl.Click, AddressOf DoWork
		End If
	Next
End Sub

Patrick please do note that the above is a hack (e.g.; there are no public APIs for this as such). Also, the solution may be version specific. Last I fooled around with this was in Crystal Reports 11.5, so "stuff" may have changed since then.
