  Hello,
  
  The "Close" button closes the current form. You may disable the standard Close button and add own button that does what you need:
  
  using DevComponents.DotNetBar;
  
  ButtonItem customButton = new ButtonItem();
  customButton.Text = "my button";
  customButton.Click += new EventHandler(customButton_Click);
  previewControl1.ToolBar.Items.Add(customButton);

  Here is VB.Net equivalent:
  
  Imports DevComponents.DotNetBar
  
  Dim customButton As ButtonItem = New ButtonItem
  customButton.Text = "my button"
  AddHandler customButton.Click, AddressOf customButton_Click
  previewControl1.ToolBar.Items.Add(customButton)

  Hi.
  
  When i did that, i got a problem with the ButtonItem that i have put i line under.
  It say that ButtonItem is ambiguous in the namspace DevComponents.DotNetBar.
  
  I dont have the source code, do i need that for this?
  I dont know what i am doing wrong her now, but i think i have to try something else. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="<_<" border="0" alt="dry.gif" /> Dim customButton As[/img]ButtonItem = New ButtonItem
  customButton.Text = "my button"
  AddHandler customButton.Click, AddressOf customButton_Click
  PreviewControl1.ToolBar.Items.Add(customButton)
  
  
  Thanks for the help.

  Please clarify: are you using DevComponents in your project? FastReport contains its own copy of DevComponents (FastReport.Bars.dll) with the same names/namespaces, so you will not be able to use both libraries at the same time (original DevComponents and the one from FastReport.Bars.dll).
  The solution is to move all reporting logic into a separate dll that uses FastReport.dll and FastReport.Bars.dll only, and reference this dll in your program. Since this dll will not use DevComponents, you will be able to do what I wrote before.
