Re: VARPG Window API call - PrintDlgEx

Tom - I'm trying to get newsgroup access.  At the moment I can only post
through Google (which the general newsgroup won't see).

Mike - Looks like you've lead me in the right direction, although I
really can't find any documentation on those functions.  I keep getting
the E_INVALIDARG result - which seems odd since the only parameter I'm
passing is a pointer.  I'm allocating the data structure before I make
the call, but I'm wondering if I'm supposed to be initializing some
fields or something.

Here's my data structure:
     D pPrintDialogDS  S               *   
     D PrintDialogDS   DS                  Based( pPrintDialogDS )
Qualified
     D  lStructSize                  10u 0
     D  hWndOwner                    10u 0
     D  hDevMode                     10u 0
     D  hDevNames                    10u 0
     D  hDC                          10u 0
     D  Flags                        10u 0
     D  Flags2                       10u 0
     D  ExclusionFlags...
     D                               10u 0
     D  nPageRanges                  10u 0
     D  nMaxPageRanges...
     D                               10u 0
     D  lpPageRanges                   *
     D  nMinPage                     10u 0
     D  nMaxPage                     10u 0
     D  nCopies                      10u 0
     D  hInstance                    10u 0
     D  lpPrintTemplateName...
     D                                 *
     D  lpCallBack                     *
     D  nPropertyPages...
     D                               10u 0
     D  lphPropertyPages...
     D                                 *
     D  nStartPage                   10u 0
     D  dwResultAction...
     D                               10u 0 

And this is how I'm allocating it:
         pPrintDialogDS = %alloc( %size( PrintDialogDS ) );

Do I need to allocate the subfield pointers?

The export is actually either PrintDlgExA or PrintDlgExW depending if
you are using ascii or Unicode.  The normal Win32 SDK in C/C++ will fix
this up for you at compile time via a #define.
Hope this helps.

   4. Re: VARPG Window API call - PrintDlgEx (Kurt Anderson)

Ok, having issues here.  First I was looking into PrintDlg, but 
realized that for Windows 2000 (which is what we're on) I should be 
using PrintDlgEx - 
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms646942.aspx

When I get to the print screen action, I get the following error: 0211

Error occurred while calling program or procedure PrintDlgEx.

Kurt:

At this point, I think your best choice is to ask on the
ibm.software.varpg newsgroup on the news.software.ibm.com news server. I
was right at my limit with the PrintWindow function. Going on actually
to obtain the device context...?

Yeah, right. As if. <g>

When I was actively trying to do anything like what you're trying, I was
using OS/2!

But if you find the right technique, I'd really love to hear about it.

My prototype:
      *  Display the Print Dialog Window
     D PrintDlgEx      PR            10u 0 ExtProc('PrintDlgEx')
     D                                     dll('comdlg32.dll')
     D                                     LinkAge(*StdCall)
     D  pPrintDS                       *   Value

My call (gresultUns = 10u 0):
  gResultUns = PrintDlgEx( pPrintDialogDS );

I've tried changing the case on ComDlg32.dll, but it doesn't seem to 
matter.  I've verified that comdlg.dll is in C:\WinNT\System32, and 
that directory is in my PATH.
