Printing

i need to print a emf file

You could try...

\\ Declaration

Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" (byval hwnd as Long, byval lpOperation as string, byval lpFile as string, byval lpParameters as string, byval lpDirectory as string, byval nShowCmd as Long) as Long




Using this API call and passing "Print" in the lpOperation parameter causes windows to print out the document using whichever application is associated with that document. The code to use this from a VB form is:


public Sub PrintDocument(byval sDocumentName as string)
Const SW_HIDE = 0
Dim lRet as Long
lRet = ShellExecute(me.hWnd, "print", sDocumentName, "","",SW_HIDE)
End Sub




If ShellExecute is successful, the return value (lRet) will be greater than 32.

HTH,
