windows - How to change customized CPrintDialog's properties -

i want change cprintdialog's properties when printer change app.

i have set printer name in oninitdialog() of custom cprintdialog.

ccombobox *wndcmbbox = (ccombobox *)getdlgitem( idc_per_user ); if( wndcmbbox != null ) {     wndcmbbox->selectstring( -1, s_printername); } 

the problem that, printer name can set in combo box property not set. mean printer status, type, etc... default, default printer's property set. so, conflict.

but, if changed printer combobox of cprintdialog automatically property changed per printer selection.

i dint find solution yet anywhere. please refer image have attached.

edit cody suggest, can changed printer per selected printer app, if apply print command, print goes selected printer, gone well, not issue, issue is, on first time of open print dialog, properties not match selected printer, if printer selected other default printer app.

you doing wrong. should not customize printing settings displaying printer dialog , programmatically manipulating controls. that's bound go wrong, you've observed does. not expected use model common dialog.

instead, set default values cprintdialog modifying m_pd structure, described in the documentation:

to use cprintdialog object, first create object using cprintdialog constructor. once dialog box has been constructed, can set or modify values in m_pd structure initialize values of dialog box's controls. m_pd structure of type printdlg. more information on structure, see windows sdk.

you can programmatically change default printer entire application. doesn't require showing dialogs @ all. this, call selectprinter function. sets new printer , releases previously-selected printer.

once you've done this, time print dialog displayed, automatically show specified printer selected. , when retrieve information selected printer, information retrieve apply correct printer.
