Print Setup Dialog box - does not show option to select a certain page

[kaul125]

I'm using the PrintSetup() function in PB6.5. However, when the dialog box appears and I select my printer and go to options, it does not allow to choose tha page I want to print. For example, in Excel, the 'Print' dialog box allows for the 'Print Range' (page(s) from:.... to:....).

This option does not appear when I use the PrintSetup() in PB. Is there an external function call I can make to get this option? What is the declaration for it?

Thanks,

Keith

or better yet code a response window of your own....

string ls_pages
dw_1.Object.DataWindow.Print.Page.Range = ls_pages



Example data: ls_pages='1-4'
ls_pages='2,3,4'
ls_pages='1-5,7,10'


so throw some controls on and go wild. =)

Hi,

Display of this value on the Print dialog depends on your printer and its driver. However, you can implement your own printer driver using PowerScript. You can use a SingleLineEdit control on the window to specify your own page-range values that are to be printed. When the user enters the range values in the sle, assign the values to the dw as:

dw.Object.DataWindow.Print.Page.Range = sle.Text


Regards,


Scott
