HOW DO YOU DISPLAY THE PRINT DIALOG BOX IN VB6? 2

[Hiccup]

Can anyone tell me the code syntax to display the printer's "Print Dialog Box" before the print operation takes place so that the user can select the paper size, no. of copies, etc.?

I've tried:

CommonDialog1.ShowPrinter

This is what is suggested in the MSDN Library, but it's not working!

Thanks in advance!

Two strings walk into a bar. The first string says to the bartender: 'Bartender, I'll have a beer. u.5n$x5t?*&4ru!2[sACC~ErJ'. The second string says: 'Pardon my friend, he isn't NULL terminated'.

Also, can you please not post your topic titles in all-caps? It makes them hard to read, and you end up looking like a newbie (which you aren't, with over 120 posts to Tek-Tips).

Thanks.

Hiccup,

Display of Printer and Print Setup Dialogs using the Common Dialog control is well documented elsewhere but you may also consider

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;322710.

The latter is more complicated but is more flexible. I have some wrapper code for VBPrnDlg.dll if you would like to pursue that avenue.

On the internet, all caps is conventionally considered equivalent to SHOUTING.
This is typical newbie who is still new to the internet and don't know these things.
