Cancel Print

hello all,

using fm 8 pro advanced, i have several scripts that do some major
printing. the users sometimes want to cancel this printing before they
actually start the printing (hit the cancel button the print dialog
box). Is there any way for me to exit out of the script gracefully?

thanks

You can capture an "error" when users click on the Cancel button in a
print window, so your script would be something like:

Set Error Capture [On]
Print []
If [Get(CurrentError) = 0]
{do rest of script}
Else
{do Print Cancelled stuff}
End If

When Get(CurrentError) returns a 0 there was no errors. Other numbers
retuned by the function all mean different things, but the most likely
"error" from the Print command is the user clicking on the Cancel
button.
