Send filename to "Print to file" dialog box

[SBang]

Hi
I'm trying to create a postscript file using VB6, NT4
I' have installed a postscript driver, and are using the printout method of Excel object (8).

During this process a Print to file dialog box appears.
I would like to create the ps-file without any userinteraction.

Can I intercept the Print to file dialoge box
and send the filename to it, and afterwards close it through API ?

Any suggestions ?

Yes, Check out EnumWindows, EnumChildWindows, and SendMessage API. The advice here is to enum through the open windows looking for your print dialog. Once found then loop through the child windows and using sendmessage to click on or type into the objects of the print dialog box as necessary.

Good Luck
