I want to use the Print() function to print the contents of my form but I want to print it landscape not portrait. How would I do this?

Does the documentation for Print() tell you how? If not, then you may need to look at part of the API, probably something like the Print Spooler API or something.

Hi,

I would try this:


[list=1]
[*] use getPrinter to retrieve the printer settings into a PRINTER_INFO_2 structure
[*] modify the orientation inside that structure (the orientation is a member of the DEVMODE which is a member of  PRINTER_INFO_2
[*] use setPrinter
[/list]

and then print whatever you want to print...

have fun
Geniuzzz

How would I put that in code?

Like this (Sorry i'm new to C++):

---------------------------------------------------------------------

getPrinter(DefultPrinter) = PRINTER_INFO_2;

PRINTER_INFO_2->Orientation.Landscape;

setPrinter;
---------------------------------------------------------------------


I use Bornald C++ Builder 6 so the "->" is how you use functions and properties of a component or command. Kinda like when Visual Basic uses the peroid "." to do the same.

You do know that is part of the language, not just some Borland thing?
I assume you have a book on C++ to learn from. If not, then get something like 'Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days'.

Yea I got that book
