AdvancedDocumentProperties info  Overview  Group

The AdvancedDocumentProperties function displays a printer-configuration dialog box for the specified printer, allowing the user to configure that printer.

LONG AdvancedDocumentProperties(

HWND hWnd,	// handle to dialog box’s parent window
HANDLE hPrinter,	// handle to printer object
LPTSTR pDeviceName,	// pointer to driver name
PDEVMODE pDevModeOutput,	// pointer to modified device mode structure
PDEVMODE pDevModeInput	// pointer to original device mode structure
);

Parameters

hWnd

Identifies the parent window of the printer-configuration dialog box.

hPrinter

Identifies a printer object.

pDeviceName

Pointer to a null-terminated string specifying the name of the device for which a printer-configuration dialog box should be displayed.

pDevModeOutput

Pointer to a DEVMODE structure that will contain the configuration data specified by the user. An application can retrieve the number of bytes required for this structure by calling the AdvancedDocumentProperties function and setting pDevModeOutput to NULL.

pDevModeInput

Pointer to a DEVMODE structure that contains the configuration data used to initialize the controls of the printer-configuration dialog box.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is zero.

If the function fails, the return value is nonzero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

An application can obtain the printer handle identified by the hPrinter parameter by calling the OpenPrinter or AddPrinter function.

An application can obtain the name pointed to by the pDeviceName parameter by calling the GetPrinter function and then examining the pPrinterName member of the PRINTER_INFO_2 structure.
