Sets the print state (non-printing or printing) of the selected objects (graphics and text blocks).

Command constructor

PNonPrinting(PMBool bState);

Graphics and text blocks only. The PNonPrinting command can suppress the printing of graphics (including inline graphics selected with the pointer tool or PSelect command) and text blocks, but not a range of text selected (highlighted) with the text tool or PTextSelect command.

Element must be selected. If no elements are selected (or if text is high lighted), PageMaker returns an error.

Suppressing the display of non-printing objects. To suppress the display of non-printing objects, use the PDisplayNonPrinting command.

Layout view only. The PNonPrinting command works only in layout view.

Example. The following example selects the third object drawn, marks it to be dropped when printed, and turns off the display of all objects with non-print ing applied.

PSelect(3);
PNonPrinting(true);
PDisplayNonPrinting(false); // hides ALL non-printing objects
