Simplified Image printing with Black Ice
Imaging Toolkits
Black Ice
has recently updated the Tiff, Image and Document Imaging
SDK/ActiveX toolkits to simplify image printing using the
BIPrint OCX. The new functionality allows developers to
easily modify printer settings when printing from their
applications.
The newly
available BIPrintSetup method allows developers to pass the
name of a printer as a string and specify whether or not
they want the method to display a default printer settings
window. The specified printer’s settings can then be
manipulated, either through Win32 API calls or by user
selection from the supplied dialog box. The BiPrintSetup
will then return a handle to the updated printer devmode,
which can then be passed to the new PepareToPrintEx method.
The PrepareToPrintEx method is identical to the existing
PrepareToPrint method but it also allows developers to pass
a handle to a printer devmode for use when printing.
As always,
the latest Imaging Toolkit evaluation versions can be
