IE programming 1

[olisemalis]

Hi,

Can someone tell me if it´s possible to open an html page in the browser and print it, programmatically?

thank you

<a href="javascript:window.print()">Print Page</a> will bring up the printer dialogue box

Hi,

Thanks for your post, however, I dont´want to view the print dialog. I don´t even want to change the script in the page. I just want to automate IE. Is this possible?

Thank you

Look into the controls Navigate and Navigate2 functions to open the page, and the ExecWB function to print. I don't remember now, but it should be close to WebBrowser1.ExecWB OLECMDID_PRINT, OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER or WebBrowser1.ExecWB OLECMDID_PRINT2, OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER to print without asking the user - just play with the arguments.

Thankx shakespeare5677

Do you know if there is some way of setting the active printer?

Thank you

Sorry, not off the top of my head. You'd have to use the printer object I think. Try doing a search in the forum, I'm sure you'll find stuff. Good luck.

A quick search brings up thread222-1017932 for a simple way of doing it
