Removed options from Save button

RJP · January 2017

The subject says it all: How can I remove options from the toolbar Save button?

I know this question has been asked before, and I've seen a response suggesting finding the ButtonItem in the Preview.Toolbar and directly removing Subitems.

But that approach seems a bit fragile (if a new version comes along that changes these options, my code would break).

I have also seen a suggestion to use RegisteredObjects.FindObject(type).Enabled = false. But that just doesn't seem to do anything.

This is my code (in managed C++):

FastReport::Utils::RegisteredObjects::FindObject(
    FastReport::Export::RichText::RTFExport::typeid)->Enabled = false;
FastReport::Utils::RegisteredObjects::FindObject(
    FastReport::Cloud::StorageClient::Dropbox::DropboxStorageClient::typeid)->Enabled = false;

What am I doing wrong?

(PS: The report uses a PreviewControl that I create myself and assign to the Report->Preview property).

Do not use windows form designer, you must manually create fastreport component.

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
Â Â Â Â private FastReport.Preview.PreviewControl previewControl1;
Â Â Â Â private FastReport.Report report;

Â Â Â Â public Form1()
Â Â Â Â {
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â // to initialize RegisteredObjects, you must do this before initializing PreviewControl
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â report = new FastReport.Report();
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â // get list of RegisteredObjects (i do this approach for experiment and learning)
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â // you could use RegisteredObjects.FindObject
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â List<FastReport.Utils.ObjectInfo> list = new List<FastReport.Utils.ObjectInfo>();
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â FastReport.Utils.RegisteredObjects.Objects.EnumItems(list);
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â // find object
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â foreach (FastReport.Utils.ObjectInfo item in list)
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â {Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â if (item.Object == typeof(FastReport.Export.RichText.RTFExport))
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â {
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â // remove it from list
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â item.Enabled = false;
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â break;
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â }
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â }Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â InitializeComponent();
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â // initializing PreviewControl
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â previewControl1 = new FastReport.Preview.PreviewControl();
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â previewControl1.BackColor = System.Drawing.SystemColors.AppWorkspace;
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â previewControl1.Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Fill;
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â previewControl1.Font = new System.Drawing.Font("Tahoma", 8F);
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â previewControl1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(0, 0);
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â previewControl1.Name = "previewControl1";
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â previewControl1.PageOffset = new System.Drawing.Point(10, 10);
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â previewControl1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(617, 262);
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â previewControl1.TabIndex = 0;
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â previewControl1.UIStyle = FastReport.Utils.UIStyle.Office2003;
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â this.Controls.Add(previewControl1);
Â Â Â Â }
}

Ah, I just wasn't using the RegisteredObjects early enough prior to the PreviewControl being created!

Once I moved my code up, all worked ok.

For the record, what I really wanted to do was remove all the Cloud-related save options, which I am now able to do with:

for each(Utils::ObjectInfo^ info in Utils::RegisteredObjects::Objects->Items)
	{
		if (info->Object != nullptr && info->Object->AssemblyQualifiedName->StartsWith("FastReport.Cloud", true, nullptr))
		{
			info->Enabled = false;
		}

	}
