Enable Print button in Preview Mode

[Vibes]

Hi,

I am a new user to RadControls so pardon my ignorance.

What we essentially want is that:

1. A user is shown the contents in the editor
2. He should not be allowed to change it.
3. He should be allowed to print the contents of the editor.

If I switch to preview mode, the buttons gets disabled. I there a way I can achieve the above?

Hi Dobromir,

Thanks for the help. The solution works fine.
Though I am a little confused with a small thing. Why do we need to call the setTimeout method in the javascript code?

        function OnClientModeChange(editor, args) {
            var mode = editor.get_mode();
            switch (mode) {
                case 1:
                    //alert( "We are in Design mode");
                    //do something
                    break;
                case 2:
                    //alert("We are in HTML mode");
                    break;
                case 4:
                    setTimeout(function() {
                        var tool = editor.getToolByName("Print");
                        tool.setState(0);
                    }, 0);
                    //alert( "We are in Preview mode");
                    //do something
                    break;
            }
        }

Hi Vaibhav,

The setTimeout in this handler is used to ensure that the custom code will be executed after the default RadEditor's scripts that disable the tools.
