Choosing and Saving Printer Bin
Posted: Tue Dec 23, 2008 09:44 AM

Hi,

the TPrinter-method SetBin(nBin) can address a bin available on the printer. But is there also a method to save the bin a user has chosen in the printer setup dialog? For example, if he chooses the "tractor", I want to save it in an .ini-file and if he prints the same form again use this setting for default.

Best Regards,

The function PrnBinSource() returns the currently selected bin.

Enrico,

after choosing the printer with prnsetup() the answer I get for PrnBinSource() always is 15, no matter which printer I choose and which tray/bin I choose.

this is my sourcecode for testing:

Code: Select all Collapse
	aNeuDrucker := PrnSetup()
	MsgInfo("Printer-bin: "+str(PrnBinSource()))

Maybe a bug in PrnBinSource(), I don't know, sorry.
