Initializing the Page Setup Dialog Box

By default, the Page Setup dialog box displays information about the current default printer. To direct the dialog box to display information about a specific printer, set the members of a DEVMODE or DEVNAMES structure and assign the global memory handles of these structures to the corresponding member in PAGESETUPDLG. If you specify the name of a printer that is not currently installed, the dialog box displays an error message. To prevent the dialog box from displaying error messages, use the PSD_NOWARNING value. To retrieve information about the default printer without displaying the Page Setup dialog box, use the PSD_RETURNDEFAULT value.

If the default measurement system is inches, the dialog box uses thousandths of inches as the default unit of measurement. If the default measurement system is metric, the dialog box uses hundredths of millimeters as the default unit of measurement. To override the default unit of measurement, set the PSD_INHUNDREDTHSOFMILLIMETERS or PSD_INTHOUSANDTHSOFINCHES flag in the Flags member of the PAGESETUPDLG structure.

The initial values for the margins are one inch, by default. If you set the PSD_MARGINS flag, the dialog box displays the initial margin values specified in the rtMargin member. The default minimum values that the user can specify for the margins are the minimum margins allowed by the printer. If you set the PSD_MINMARGINS flag, the dialog box enforces the minimum margins specified in the rtMinMargin member.

To prevent users from selecting certain options, set any combination of the following flags to disable the corresponding controls.

Flag	Meaning
PSD_DISABLEMARGINS	Disables the edit controls in which the user types the margins.
PSD_DISABLEORIENTATION	Disables the Portrait and Landscape radio buttons.
PSD_DISABLEPAPER	Disables the controls for selecting the paper size and paper source.
PSD_DISABLEPRINTER	Disables the Printer push button.

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.
