PrinterIndex (ImageKit Control/ PrintDraw Property)

This property holds the default printer index retrieved by the EnumPrinters method.

[C++Builder] imagekitcontrolname->PrintDraw->PrinterIndex [ = int ]

[Delphi] imagekitcontrolname.PrintDraw.PrinterIndex [ = Integer ]

Reference

The index of the default printer

Explanation

The PrinterIndex property holds the default printer index retrieved by the EnumPrinters method. If the EnumPrinters method is successful, the index of the default printer can be obtained from the PrinterIndex property. When the PrinterIndex property is -1, this means that the EnumPrinters method has not executed or that it was executed but failed. When the PrinterIndex property is 0 or more, it refers to the index that can be used to access the array of the Printers.Strings property.

Example

In C++Builder

VImageKit1->PrintDraw->EnumPrinters();
if (VImageKit1->PrintDraw->Printers->Count > 0)
{
ComboBox1->Items = VImageKit1->PrintDraw->Printers;
ComboBox1->ItemIndex = VImageKit1->PrintDraw->PrinterIndex;
}

In Delphi

VImageKit1.PrintDraw.EnumPrinters();
if (VImageKit1.PrintDraw.Printers.Count > 0) then
begin
ComboBox1.Items := VImageKit1.PrintDraw.Printers;
ComboBox1.ItemIndex := VImageKit1.PrintDraw.PrinterIndex;
end;
