Hi,

Am trying to use this code to change the printsetup. Apparently, it works with MSCommonDialog. something am doing wrong?

    With CommonDialog
    '.Flags = xtpPDPrintSetup
        .DialogTitle = "Print Setup"
        .CancelError = True
        .ShowPrinter
    End With

regards,

Hi,

So what problem do you see ? You just don't see print dialog ? Do you have some printer installed ?

Hi,

I do have printers installed. The problem is with changing the default printer.

on Showprinter, the print setup dialog shows. so, i select the printer and click on 'ok'. The default printer is not changed to the one selected. When i re-open the Print setup dialog no change has been done.

Unlike MSCdialog, the application will look like it hangs for a sec when i click on 'ok' and when i re-open print setup the selected printer is now the default printer.

This is a problem of VB6 himself.

You must change the Default-Printer by yourself.

If you use the VB6-Commoncontrols, that are wrapper-classes for the Windows-Common-Controls so they do something more for you.

CJ simply call the windows-common-controls and knows nothing about VB6.

PS:

The changing of the defaultprinter with VB6 effects ALL Applications and sets the Windows-Default-Printer !
