Is possible hide propertie's button of _WinAPI_PrintDlg?

[Luigi]

Hi Forum,

Is possible hide the button properties in _WinAPI_PrintDlg?
I search in MSDN but I can´t find this or this is impossible?

Because you want to hide (or disable) the button? 

And why not? It provides access to a lot of functions a lot of printers, I can not control (yet). This gives the end user the false impression of control. I see no useful reason to display it (or leave enabled). What is really needed is to select the printer, copies, and only.

 

Best regards,

Detefon

hi. Try this.

expandcollapse popup

#include <APIDlgConstants.au3>
#include <Memory.au3>
#include <WinAPIDlg.au3>
#include <WinAPIFiles.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

Global $hHandle = DllCallbackRegister("_PrintHookProc", "INT_PTR", "hwnd;UINT;wparam;lparam")


Local $tPRINTDLG = DllStructCreate($tagPRINTDLG)
DllStructSetData($tPRINTDLG, 'Size', DllStructGetSize($tPRINTDLG))
DllStructSetData($tPRINTDLG, 'Flags', $PD_ENABLEPRINTHOOK)
DllStructSetData($tPRINTDLG, 'FromPage', 2)
DllStructSetData($tPRINTDLG, 'ToPage', 3)
DllStructSetData($tPRINTDLG, 'MinPage', 1)
DllStructSetData($tPRINTDLG, 'MaxPage', 9)
DllStructSetData($tPRINTDLG, 'Copies', 4)
DllStructSetData($tPRINTDLG, 'PrintHook', DllCallbackGetPtr($hHandle))

If Not _WinAPI_PrintDlg($tPRINTDLG) Then
    DllCallbackFree($hHandle)
    Exit
EndIf


; Show results
Local $hDevNames = DllStructGetData($tPRINTDLG, 'hDevNames')
Local $pDevNames = _MemGlobalLock($hDevNames)
Local $tDEVNAMES = DllStructCreate($tagDEVNAMES, $pDevNames)
ConsoleWrite('Printer: ' & _WinAPI_GetString($pDevNames + 2 * DllStructGetData($tDEVNAMES, 'DeviceOffset')))
If DllStructGetData($tDEVNAMES, 'Default') Then
    ConsoleWrite(' (Default)' & @CRLF)
Else
    ConsoleWrite(@CRLF)
EndIf
ConsoleWrite('First page: ' & DllStructGetData($tPRINTDLG, 'FromPage') & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite('Last page: ' & DllStructGetData($tPRINTDLG, 'ToPage') & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite('Copies: ' & DllStructGetData($tPRINTDLG, 'Copies') & @CRLF)

; Free global memory objects that contains a DEVMODE and DEVNAMES structures
_MemGlobalFree(DllStructGetData($tPRINTDLG, 'hDevMode'))
_MemGlobalFree($hDevNames)

DllCallbackFree($hHandle)



Func _PrintHookProc($hWnd, $iMsg, $wParam, $lParam)
    If $iMsg = $WM_INITDIALOG Then
        ControlHide($hWnd, "", "Button2")
    EndIf
    Return 0
EndFunc   ;==>_PrintHookProc

Danyfirex, ok, your script worked fine for me, it hide the properties button, but I want understand... 

The _WinAPI_PrintDlg function no have a value to show/hide the button properties, not native / internal shape. 

So you used a gimmick (hack?), thought control this button hid. 

Right?

They hid the control

[Danyfirex]

as far I know It doesn`t.

I don't think it's a full gimmick because I using just a callback that msdn says that I can use.
