ConnectToPrinterDlg
The ConnectToPrinterDlg function displays a dialog box that lets users browse and connect to printers
on a network. If the user selects a printer, the function attempts to create a
connection to it; if a suitable driver is not installed on the server, the
user is given the option of creating a printer locally.
HANDLE ConnectToPrinterDlg (
HWND hwnd,
| // handle to parent window of dialog box
| DWORD Flags
| // reserved for future use, must be zero
| );
|
|
Parameters
hwnd
Specifies the parent window of the dialog box.
Flags
This parameter is reserved for future use. Set it to zero.
Return Values
If the function succeeds and the user selects a printer, the return value is a
handle to the selected printer.
If the function fails, or the user cancels the dialog box without selecting a
printer, the return value is NULL.
Remarks
The ConnectToPrinterDlg function attempts to create a connection to the selected printer. However, if
the server on which the printer resides does not have a suitable driver
installed, the function offers the user the option of creating a printer locally. A
calling application can determine whether the function has created a printer
locally by calling GetPrinter with a PRINTER_INFO_2 structure, then examining that structure's Attributes member.
An application should call DeletePrinter to delete a local printer. An application should call DeletePrinterConnection to delete a connection to a printer.

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
