Expert: Brandon Drake Date: 8/3/2006 Subject: page setup dialogue control
Question How can I modify the page setup dialogue control-through inheritance? Or should I even try?
-Situation:
I am printing a bar graph type time line schedule which comes from four different data sources . Pages wide X pages tall needs to be selectable but there is not that option. I thaught about after the page set up dialogue closed to have a panel pop up with this selection on it but that seemed awkard.
Answer Mark,
First, you can't inherit the page setup dialog because it is marked "Not Inheritable". I don't know of any way to edit the controls that are displayed on the page setup dialog box.
The Print Preview dialog box IS inheritable, and you can edit the controls that are displayed on it. That may be a useful alternative.
You may have to recreate the page setup dialog yourself if you actually want to have those settings in the dialog.
The last option I can think of is to just make the page numbers another menu. You could call it "Page Properties" or "Page Format".
