How to hook browser Print command like File->Print or File->Save

Is there a way to HOOk browser commands in IE/FF/Chrome Like Office applications? we can hook keyboard events, but how to hook menu items??

Solution

  • The answer for Chrome: no. The answer for Firefox: yes. There is a <xul:command> element in the browser window with id cmd_print. Attach a listener for the command event to it and it will be called whenever the user invokes that menu item or presses Ctrl-P. There is also a similar element with id Browser:SavePage.
