The Print dialog box lets the user select options for a particular print job. For example, the user can specify the printer to use, the range of pages to print, and the number of copies. You can use the PrintDlgEx function to display a Print Property Sheet, which has a General page containing controls similar to the Print dialog box. The property sheet can also have additional application-specific and driver-specific property pages following the General page. You create and display a strong dialog box by initializing a PRINTDLG structure and passing the structure to the PrintDlg function. The following illustration shows a typical Print dialog box. If the user clicks the strong button, PrintDlg returns strong and uses the PRINTDLG structure to return information about the user's selections. For example, the hDevMode and hDevNames members typically return global memory handles for and DEVNAMES structures. You can use the information in these structures to create a device context or an information context for the selected printer.

If the user cancels the strong dialog box or an error occurs, PrintDlg returns strong. You can determine the cause of an error by using the CommDlgExtendedError function to retrieve the extended error value. The strong dialog box includes a strong group of radio buttons that indicate whether the user wants to print all pages, a range of pages, or only the selected text. high chair baby boomBefore calling PrintDlg , you can set one of the strong, strong, or strong flags to indicate which button is initially selected. cane back chairs for saleWhen strong returns strong, the function sets one of these flags to indicate the user's selections. green tub chairs leatherIf strong is set, the strong and strong members of the PRINTDLG structure contain the starting and ending pages specified by the user. white folding chairs for sale in miami

To disable the Pages radio button and its associated From and To edit controls, set the PD_NOPAGENUMS flag. To disable the Selection radio button, set the PD_NOSELECTION flag. The dialog box includes an edit control in which the user can type the number of copies to print. If the strong member of the PRINTDLG structure is non-strong, the strong member of the structure specifies the initial value for this edit control. bean bag chairs amazon canadaIf strong is strong, the strong member of the strong structure specifies the initial value. ikea dining chair hackWhen PrintDlg returns, nCopies typically indicates the number of copies specified by the user. used pottery barn chairs for saleHowever, if you set the PD_USEDEVMODECOPIESANDCOLLATE flag when you create the dialog box, nCopies is always set to 1 on return and the dmCopies member of DEVMODE indicates the number of copies to print.want to buy old barber chair

The Collate check box indicates whether the user wants to collate the pages if multiple copies are being printed. The PD_COLLATE flag is set if the Collate check box is selected. If your application does not support multiple copies or simulated collation, set the PD_USEDEVMODECOPIESANDCOLLATE flag in the Flags member of the PRINTDLG structure. folding chair slip covers for saleThis disables the Collate check box and the Number of Copies edit control unless the printer driver supports multiple copies and collation. The strong check box indicates whether the user wants to send output to a file rather than to a printer. You can set the strong flag so the check box is initially selected. To hide the check box, set the strong flag. To disable it, set the strong flag. If the user selects the strong option, PrintDlg sets the strong flag and returns "FILE:" at the offset indicated by the strong member of the DEVNAMES structure.

When you call the function to start the printing operation, specify this "FILE:" string in the lpszOutput member of the structure. Specifying this string causes the print subsystem to query the user for the name of the output file. By default, the strong dialog box initially displays information about the current default printer. To display information for another installed printer, initialize a and a DEVNAMES structure and assign the global memory handle to the structure to the strong and strong members. The device name you specify in the strong member of the DEVMODE structure and in the wDriverOffset member of the DEVNAMES structure must identify a printer device that is also listed in the [Devices] section of the Win.ini file. If the device is not listed, PrintDlg returns an error. You can direct PrintDlg to create a device context or information context for the printer by setting the strong or strong flag in the strong member of the PRINTDLG structure. The function returns a handle to the device context or information context in the hDC member.

If you use the PD_RETURNDC flag, you can use the device context to generate output for the printer. To retrieve information about the default printer without displaying the Print dialog box, set the PD_RETURNDEFAULT flag. In this case, PrintDlg returns immediately after setting the hDevMode and hDevNames members to handles for structures containing the information. By default, PrintDlg displays message boxes when errors occur. For example, the function displays an error message if no printers are installed. To prevent the function from displaying these warning messages, set the PD_NOWARNING flag. The following topics are discussed in this section. You can provide a custom template for the Print dialog box, for example, if you want to include additional controls that are unique to your application. The PrintDlg function uses your custom template in place of the default template. To provide a custom template for the Print dialog box: You can provide a PrintHookProc hook procedure for the Print dialog box.
