Set active printer prior to showing printer dialog

[Dingbat]

Hi,

I'm using the Magic eDeveloper 9.4 software and try to build a printing routine using GdViewer ActiveX

What i want to do is this:
- set a active printer (other than the default printer in windows)
- open the printer dialog showing the printer i've just set as active
- print something

What i see however is not the active printer, but always the windows default printer.
My question is this: does the PrintImageDialog function ignore the active printer (and any other option) i've set using PrintSetActivePrinter.

When i set the options and print without the dialog, everything works fine. The dialogs seem to ignore everything and do their own thing.

Please advise.

Thanks for this great product, keep up your good work!

Regards, René

Hi,

Code: Select all

does the PrintImageDialog function ignore the active printer (and any other option) i've set using PrintSetActivePrinter.

Yes, printers selection dialog boxes let user to select the destination printer but always select the system default printer as first.

Kind regards,
