Printing in 2004

Posted on Dec 22, 2004 at 01:29 PM 12 Views

Hello!

I have a rather small (but very anoying) problem while printing fra an AddOn in SBO 2004.

I'm not using any of SBO's non existing print functions, but the internal document printer in C#.

This all works fine, except the fact that my print dialog shows in the background. This means the user cannot see the dialog, unless he presses ALT+TAB.

Has anyone been in the same situation, or do I really have to solve this by some evil-ugly hack?!

    Hi Thomas,

    I had the same problem when trying to show the standard File Open/Save Dialog in C#. What I do for a work around is:

    1. Open the dialog, it will display in the background

    2. Create a timer which keeps firing until it finds the window handle for the dialog

    3. Bring the dialog to the front by changing its Windows Z-order

    Regard, Lita

    Hey Lita.

    How exactly do you find the handler for a window?

    I have a printpreviwer and a printdialog opening in the background.

    This is probably more a C# question than SDK...
