Send keys for printing

[zishan619]

Hi I am trying to figure out if there is a way to press a button and print automatically to the setting I need.
The report that needs to print has to be setup in the page setup to legal size paper and then automatically print.
so far I have this:
function ZPrint()
window.factory.PageSetup
window.print
end function
But I was wondering if I can have the page setup automatically set to legal. Or can I use send keys to do this. Thanks

What application are you sending the print from?

Microsoft Interdev

Does have your application a Macro Recorder ?

I don't recall interdev having a macro recorder. Your best bet at this point is to record all the needed key strokes to do the job manually, then script those keys with SendKeys. The main downfall of SendKeys is making sure your application has the focus. I like to do an AppActivate before each keystroke just to make sure nothing has snagged the focus away from me.

Tell us the keystrokes (don't use your mouse!) and I can help you with the context for the script.
