STImgCtl – Printing

SetPrintOptions method

This method can be used to customize the print options.
The set parameters are only taken into account when a PDF is printed.

int SetPrintOptions(int nPageScaling, int nAutoRotateCenter);

long SetPrintOptions(long nPageScaling, long nAutoRotateCenter);

SetPrinterCopyCount method

This method can be used to set the number of copies for printing a PDF document.
The parameter that is set is only used for dialog-free printing using the PrintDirect method.

int SetPrinterCopyCount(short nCopyCount);

long SetPrinterCopyCount(short nCopyCount);

SetPrinterPaperBin method

This method sets the ID of the printer paper bin to be used.

int SetPrinterPaperBin(int nPaperBinID);

long SetPrinterPaperBin(long nPaperBinID);

PrintWithDialog method

This method deletes the currently stored printer name and all set print parameters. The next time a document is printed, PrintPDFWithAcrobat causes the Windows printer selection to be displayed.

void PrintWithDialog();

void PrintWithDialog();

SetPrinterName method

This method can be used to set the name of the printer to be used so that displaying the Windows printer selection can be bypassed when an Adobe application is used for printing (see PrintPDFWithAcrobat).

int SetPrinterName(string bstrPrinterName);

long SetPrinterName(BSTR bstrPrinterName);

PrintPDFWithAcrobat method

Activates or deactivates printing via Adobe Acrobat Reader or Adobe Acrobat. To do this, Adobe Acrobat Reader or Adobe Acrobat must be installed on the system. This method is only available for documents that have been loaded directly from a file on the hard disk using LoadDocument.

The printer is selected only once via the Windows printer selection. The selected printer is then used for all following calls as long as the application is open. Optionally, the name can also be set using the SetPrinterName method. To display the printer selection again after printing, please use the PrintWithDialog method. The printing process itself can be started by clicking the printer icon in the toolbar of the control (see also ShowToolbar).

int PrintPDFWithAcrobat(int nOptions);

long PrintPDFWithAcrobat(long nOptions);

PrintDirect method

This method starts a printing procedure that does not require any further user input.

int PrintDirect(short nStartPage, short nEndPage, string bstrPrintername);

long PrintDirect(short nStartPage, short nEndPage, BSTR bstrPrintername);
