New version - comments, defects etc?

Sometimes Barney plays peek-a-boo with himself - makes my issue slist look distinctly dull

Is the printer handle non zero?
Most likely you haven't requested

SERVER_ALL_ACCESS = &HF0003
in the PRINTER_DEFAULTS parameter you are passing to OpenPrinter?

Get the book The Visual Basic programmer's guide to the Win32 API by Daniel Appleman and start from there...

Whom do I invoice for this tiresome waste of my time?
I would be obliged if this board could be kept for programming questions rather than whatever the last 20 or so posts were all about.

Anybody know if the functionality of the discretionary access control lists is in the .NET managed framework anywhere --- i.e. can I programatically add or remove user permissions for a given shared...

Draw database schema diagram from any ODBC connected database - I could use something like that...

Did a 14 hour sess in front of the monitor today (end of year and there's several hundred thousand euro in the wrong reconcilliation accounts...) and when I left I cycled straight under a truck. ...

This is ture - but I share the source code between many developers and it doesn't make sense to force all of us to use the same path structure.

Is there any way to use a relative path for your strong name key file for an assembly? I currently have:


<Assembly: AssemblyKeyFile("C:\Merrion...

Am I missing any major ones?
I have:

Thread-safe means that the process will work correctly in a multithreaded application.

The reason that iterating through a collection is noth thread safe is that it doesn't lock the collection so...

Your best bet would be to make a small app that installs the hook but doesn't do anything much with it and see what happens to your PC memory/CPU usage etc. with it running.

When does something become an "application block" - is there a special requirement or test? In fact any documentation on this that I should read before I go off pretending I know what I'm talking...

The gory details are in: Advanced .NET archives

The .NET documentation would seem to indicate that if you want to invoke an event asynchronously in "fire and forget" mode you can do this by calling the .BeginInvoke method and not passing any...

There are a number of API calls provided by the spooler subsystem that allow you to do this. GetPrinter and SetPrinter would be a good place to start...

You're going to have to muddle through some API - GetPrinter and SetPrinter calls seem favourable?

Set the common dialog's CancelError property to true and put an error trap in the code - then if the user presses cancel execution will jump to the error handler.

You need to set papersource to be custom or the width parameter (and height) is effectively ignored.

Not all printers support custom paper sizes so error handling is required.

To set the...

Cause of problem: Machine fell off desk.

I'm guessing it is a hardware fault. Note that the muppet thinks the machine "fell off" rather than was knocked off by cack-handed muppet(s)...

There's source code too - bit scary but if you trace through it you should see how it all hangs together.

Note : do not debug apps without saving your work first - this can lead to things falling...

Any idea what make and model this car is?

It goes both ways..

I have discovered that you can pass a null string using String.Empty instead of using an IntPtr e.g.:-


If Not EnumPrinterDrivers(String.Empty, String.Empty, 3, pDriverInfo, 0, pcbNeeded,...

Thus if the config file is like:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

It is a historical throwback - once it meant word and long parameter - but since Win32 they are both LONG (32 bit) parameters.

OK - I have a plug in framework where my application can have 3rd party plug-ins added via the .config file (provided they confrom to the IPlugIn interface...)

What I have so far reads the Type...

You'd be wrong. You need to use the API call TrackMouseEvent and subclass the relevent control to look out for the messages WM_MOUSEHOVER and WM_MOUSELEAVE respectively...

Press CTRL+G

Yes - I can only boycott them once I'v dispersed of the fundibles...I think I might go on an eBay spree.

Your API function returns a long - you must pick this up off the stack even if you aren't using it or the stack pointer will be pointing at the wrong space and you get the bad DLL calling convention...

To ask the process nicely to close use

If Process.CloseMainWindow Then
'\\ Process closed itself
End If


To force it to die use:

Process.Kill

Look on MSDN for the TrackMouseEvent API call. Using this sends the Wm_MOUSEHOVER and WM_MOUSELEAVE messages to your window.

Alternatively using the EventVB.dll you could use the ApiWindow...

OK - I have an App.config file and am able to read single items in name/value pairs thus:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

And how do they differentiate this from the Command Button control then?

You could use the System Wide hotkey control
