Suppress column when printing

[Sean Greer]

Any idea how I can suppress the printing of a column? I have a push button column that is used to open another form for editing the underlying data source, but I don't want to render it when printing. Can this be done?

Regards,

You can handle the QueryColWidth event, and if you are printing, return e.Size = 0 and e.Handled = true for this column (e.Index). To decide whether you are printing, you can add a Form level flag and set it before you start the print.

To test whether the grid is printing or not, use the PrintingMode property. So, you do not have to set your own flag.
