I am trying to redirect my report to a printer other than the default
printer. The control (v. 5.0.1.108) gives me the properties PrinterName,
PrinterDriver and PrinterPort to direct the report to. Does anyone know a
good way to get these values from what is returned from the Windows common
dialog or preferably the printer common dialog Win32 api call? Ideally I
would prefer NOT to change the default printer.

Hi, Todd,

I think Steve Quinn answered this question in his post to a similar
question in this newsgroup on 6/11/97.

I am doing the same thing in my application, my solution was to write a
small C DLL that calls PESelectPrinter with the information retrieved from
the printer common dialog box.  I tried to do the same thing in VB, but VB
has problems using a structure that has pointers in it(GPFs - Fun Stuff).

I'm glad to see someone else is having problems with pointers in VB! :)
Sorry Stephen. I ended up creating a custom form to display the contents of
the Printers collection, which provides everything I need to set the
Crystal control. Thanks anyway Stephen.
