I'm just getting started learning fastreport and I'm using it with
Fivewin/xHarbour. I noticed the print previews are modal, which is
fine. Is there anyway to hide or remove the minimize/maximize options
in the upper right hand corner of the preview window? I think it
would be better for our users to open the preview maximized and not
give them the option to minimize or resize the preview window.

Thanks,
Randal

Hello, Randal,

It's by default. But can be not-modal too.

Now it's not possible. But idea is intresting. May be I'll add such
method.

Spirin Sergey,

Thank you for the reply. Our users are mostly computer illiterate. I
can see where they would accidently minimize the window, end up back
in our program, and not able to do anything because the preview window
is not closed. If the window was maximized and Close (or X) was the
only option this wouldn't happen. Additionally, if the window is
modal (which I prefer) there is no reason or need for our users to


minimize or resize the preview window.

Best Regards,
Randal
