Re: Check if string is valid using regular expresion Anonymous27-May-04 13:10 Anonymous 27-May-04 13:10  Thank you so much. This really helps. John Printing Multiple documents Thangavel26-May-04 4:07 Thangavel 26-May-04 4:07  I have list of document of type word,pdf and tif images. When open the documents and print , i expect the printing resulted in the same order. But the word documents are printed first and then pdf and the order is not what I printed. How to avoid this jumble and maintain the order in which i printed. Regards Thangavel Re: Printing Multiple documents Dave Kreskowiak26-May-04 4:11 Dave Kreskowiak 26-May-04 4:11  How are you printing these documents? Are you selecting them in Explorer, right-clicking and picking Print? Or are you trying to print these from code? What does your code look like? RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, gastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome Re: Printing Multiple documents Thangavel26-May-04 4:41 Thangavel 26-May-04 4:41  I am trying to print them from code. Printing in a loop using the one of the following code for the respective documents . 'Print '.tif' image using Kodak Image Edit control. imgEdForTIF.Image = gstrFilesPath & "\" & txtEDockets(intI) imgEdForTIF.PrintImage 'Print for Word document objWordApp.Documents.Open (gstrFilesPath & "\" & txtEDockets(intI)) objWordApp.ActiveDocument.PrintOut Background:=False objWordApp.Documents.Close wdDoNotSaveChanges 'Print for PDF files Call ShellExecute(hwnd, "Print", gstrFilesPath & "\" & txtEDockets(intI), "", "", 0) lngHwnd = FindWindow(vbNullString, "Acrobat Reader") SendMessage lngHwnd, WM_CLOSE, 0, 0 Re: Printing Multiple documents Dave Kreskowiak26-May-04 5:05 Dave Kreskowiak 26-May-04 5:05  You're printing all of these nearly at one and depending on the Print routines for each to do the printing for you. Not a problem really, it's what anyone would do. The problem your running into is that Word uses a background Print on a seperate thread. Your also using ShellExecute to Print .PDF files, which means Acrobat has to load, load it's plugin's and the load the document, then print. Takes a while... With all the printing being done on seperate threads, it's, literally, a race to see which application can start it's print job first since they are all going at the same time. The bottom line is, with the methods that you've chosen, there is no way to print the jobs out in any controlled order. You would have to either monitor the PrintQueue to catch when the job starts before firing off the next (not easy!), or you would have to monitor each application to see when it starts the actual printing (not easy!), or you could drop Thread.Sleep(oh I don't know, say5000)'s between each print job, thereby putting 5 seconds between the launch of each print job. The final method works, is easy to implement, BUT (a very big BUT here!) It in no way guarantee's that the print jobs will come out in the order you launched them. The bottom line is there is no easy and reliable method to get the print jobs to come out in the order you want them.

Putting the delay works , but i understand the risks. Is there any other design i can choose to control the order of printing. USing PS or prn files? Re: Printing Multiple documents Dave Kreskowiak27-May-04 2:44 Dave Kreskowiak 27-May-04 2:44  Ummmmm...let me think about this... OK. You MIGHT be able to getaway with this.... You could start all of your print jobs, but instead of printing to the printer, you would print to a printer object that was told to print to a file instead. This would send all of the page description code (PCL5, PCL6, PostScript, whetever it is...) to a file instead of the printer. You would have to wait until these jobs were completed. (I don't know your going to do this!) Then copy the files, in order, to another printer setup to go to the printer this time and redirecting LPT1: to it.

Actually I tried to read the print job status using a API: A seperate program will polling and writing the status to aceess and after the print read command read the access to check if that document reached the status printing. here for very small documents i may not be able to read the status and that time i used to wait for 30 seconds. This works fine but the pproblem now is that some of the PDF documents printed with only one page. The remaining pages are missing. I am giving the next print command only after the previous document status in printer is "printing". The same behaviour when i print without any delay . But no missing of pages when i print with 15 second dely. Any idea why this is happening. Thanks and Regards R Thangavel Re: Printing Multiple documents Dave Kreskowiak29-May-04 14:16 Dave Kreskowiak 29-May-04 14:16  I've never heard of the problem. Sounds like an issue with Acrobat, or whatever component is doing the printing.

I have a program that gets a handle to an event by using GetEnvironmentVariable. My question is... How do I set this event? Any sample code would be great! Thanks, Waffleman Re: Remote Events... Dave Kreskowiak26-May-04 3:47 Dave Kreskowiak 26-May-04 3:47  WHAT??? Would you like to post some code? An environment variable doesn't have anything to do with an event handle... Are you saying that you want to fire an event if your app is asked to return an environment variable? RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, gastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome Re: Remote Events... waffleman27-May-04 8:15 waffleman 27-May-04 8:15  Let me clarify, I looked a little more and I am not getting the handle. Instead I am getting the object name. In a similar C++ program the code looks as follows: if( GetEnvironmentVariable("Notify",szValue,sizeof(szValue)) ) { hEvent = OpenEvent(EVENT_ALL_ACCESS,FALSE,szValue); if( NULL == hEvent ) { printf("AppStarted OpenEvent failed %d <%s>\n", GetLastError(),szValue); goto RET; } } if (!SetEvent(hEvent)) { printf("AppStarted SetEvent failed %d <%s>\n", GetLastError(), szValue); goto RET; } } Here is a link to the details of OpenEvent in MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dllproc/base/openevent.asp So how would I open this event and set it in VB.NET? I hope that makes more sense... Waffleman Re: Remote Events... Dave Kreskowiak27-May-04 9:40 Dave Kreskowiak 27-May-04 9:40  Yes it does... Your C++ code, which I assume your trying to duplicate in VB.NET, just gets the name of an event signal object. Now, it uses that name to open the event object, provided that it already exists, then it sets the object to signaled. This is used to nofity other threads in an application that an event has happened. What does you VB.NET code look like? With the OpenEvent function, all you get back IS the event handle, if it exists. The Environment variable is just there to supply the name of the event your getting the handle to. This event object must be created with CreateEvent in some other process before your VB.NET app can Open it... RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome Re: Remote Events... waffleman1-Jun-04 3:13 waffleman 1-Jun-04 3:13  Here is the only VB.NET code I have: Dim szNotify as String szNotify = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("Notify") DebugPrint("Notify: " & Notify, 1) If (szNotify.Length > 0) Then '** Set Event End If The event signal object is created by the parent program that kicks off the program that I am currently writing in VB.NET. The object name is stored in an environment variable. Right now I am just unclear on how to, when given an event object name, open the event and raise it in VB.NET.
