How to avoid Printig Dialog Window, and Printing Records window

[Rubber Duckie]

Hi to everyone.

I'm using VB6 and Crystal Reports XI.

Does anybody known how to...

1) Avoid the Printing Dialog Window that pops after the .PrintReport command.

2) Avoid the Printing Records window that appears after the Printing Dialog Window.

The app requires that the user don’t be able to choose any printer, and don’t be able to stop the printing process when it started.


Thanks in advance.

Check if PrintReport has a parameter like .PrintReport False
or
You can send directly to the printer setting .Destination property

Hi...

.PrintReport have no parameters available, (at least not with CR XI), and .Destination causes that the destination selected, in this case a printer, be the default printer in the Printers Dialog window.

Anyway I keep trying.

Thks for your answer.

How about this?

PrintOut Method (Report Object)
Use the PrintOut method to print out the specified pages of the report to the
printer selected using the “SelectPrinter Method (Report Object)” on
page 154. If no printer is selected, the default printer specified in the report
will be used. This method can be invoked only when in formatting idle mode.
Syntax

Sub PrintOut ([promptUser], [numberOfCopy], [collated], _
[startPageN], [stopPageN])[

Hi dglienna...

That method have the same effect as .Destination method, which causes that the destination selected, be the default printer in the Printers Dialog window.

I´m still trying

Thanks for your answer

Print to a file, and then copy it to a printer

Hi

Try this :

            'crReport is CRADRT.Report object

            'Get the printer object of selected printer
            For Each prn In Printers
                If prn.DeviceName = PrinterName Then Exit For
            Next

            
            'Set the printer to the report.
            crReport.SelectPrinter prn.DriverName, prn.DeviceName, prn.Port

            
            'Print the report
            If Pages = "ALL" Then
                crReport.PrintOut False, NoOfCopies, False
            Else
                'Print range of pages
                crReport.PrintOut False, NoOfCopies, False, FromPages, ToPages
            End If
