print button on printpreview dialog

[Mick]

I just added a print and printpreview capability to my app. It's
printing a nasty datagrid with hidden columns that may be filtered and
sorted.

Everything seems to work, but I'm having trouble with printing from the
printpreview form. The preview looks right, I get the right number of
pages, and the lines look right, but there is no text.

Is there some trick to make this work? If not, how do I disable the
print button from the stock printpreviewdialog. I can hear the users
complaining about this already.

Thanks,
Mick.

' "Drucken"-Button deaktivieren.
DirectCast(.Controls(1), ToolBar).Buttons(0).Enabled = False

' Druckvorschau anzeigen.
.ShowDialog()
.Dispose()
