DOC: PRINTER_DEFAULTS Contains an Incorrectly Typed Member

ID: Q183852

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual Basic Learning, Professional, and Enterprise Editions for Windows, versions 5.0, 6.0

SUMMARY

The API Text Viewer shows the pDevMode member of the PRINTER_DEFAULTS user- defined type as DEVMODE user-defined type. If you pass this member to another Windows API to control a printer, the API works correctly only under Windows 95 and Windows 98, and not under Windows NT. The pDevMode member should be declared as a long.

MORE INFORMATION

The following is the correct type declaration for the PRINTER_DEFAULTS user- defined type:


   Type PRINTER_DEFAULTS
      pDatatype As String
      pDevMode As Long
      pDesiredAccess As Long
   End Type
