Printing pages with the webbrowser control - MFC

Hi,

I'm trying to print a page using below function:

hr = lpOleCommandTarget->Exec(NULL, OLECMDID_PRINT, OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER,NULL, NULL);

But the problem is,it is always printing one copy only even if I give more than 1. I'm doing printer setup on top of it using CPrintDLg class as below:

CPrintDialog dlgl(FALSE);
	INT_PTR userResult = dlgl.DoModal();

I'm doing it because I have some extra functionality based on the printer which I selected. Here I'm getting proper count but when I call lpOleCommandTarget->Exec(""), it is printing only one. So can any one suggest how can I pass number of copies to Exec("") function?

What I have tried:

<pre>hr = lpOleCommandTarget->Exec(NULL, OLECMDID_PRINT, OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER,NULL, NULL);

Solution 1

According to IDM_PRINT Command ID ()[^] there is no option to specify the number of ~~pages~~ copies.

But you can get the number of copies selected by the user from the print dialog and execute the print job multiple times.

Thanks Jochen. I meant number of copies, Not pages.
If you call multiple times, it will create multiple print jobs. So I have to select each job separately to print.It will be difficult if I want to print more copies ryt?

I meant copies too (mentioning pages was a typo).
Sorry no solution.
But print jobs are queued. So it should be not too much overhead to use something like

for (int i = 0; i < copies; i++)
    lpOleCommandTarget->Exec(...);

It will be problem when user sets a password to print.For each job password will be required.It is overhead.

That is off course a problem.
It seems that there is no satisfying solution.

Hmmmm...so there is no way to pass no.of copies to Exec(...)???

No. The supported parameters are explained in the link from my solution.

The problem is that all is done by the web browser control. So you are limited to the provided OLE commands.

Any other solution would require to render the output within the application which is basically the same as writing your own browser control.

Ok,Thanks jochen :)
