Printing from within a program

Printing from within a program

[Fraz]

Hello

I am using an execute procedure from within an ada program to launch the
Windows PRINT command and print a series of text files.  However, Windows
brings up the print dialog box for each file - is there any way to bypass
this and just print directly ala print icon in Word etc?

Also, Can i set the layout to be landscape automatically??

I want the files to print and in the correct aspect without any user
interaction? How do i do this?

Cheers

Fraz

P.s (Sorry for the Crosspost but i thot it was relevant in both groups)

You stupid, gormless fuck. It has nothing to do with XP and everything to do
with the Windows API. Try this...

CPrintDialog dlg(FALSE);

  if (dlg.GetDefaults())
  {
  /* Create a printer device context (DC) based on the information
  selected from the Print dialog. Using silent opening */

    HDC hDC = dlg.CreatePrinterDC();
    ASSERT(hDC);
    CDC pDC;
    pDC.Attach(hDC);
    /* put your code here */
  }

And you can fucking well look after the C# to Ada translation yourself.
London to a brick says you know fuck all about the Windows API.

And some people complain that Ada folks are rude here in CLA because they insist 
with tame wording on doing things the Ada way...

Really, I've never heard such a tone in CLA...

You'll need to use Claw (www.rrsoftware.com) or one of the other Windows
interfaces to do this.

The easiest way to print a text file in Claw is to load the file into a
rich edit control, then use the built-in printing functions of the
control. (Note: This functionality is not in the Claw Introductory
version.) You don't even need to have the control visible on the screen
if you don't want the user to see it.
