Return Value
Returns True if successful. Returns False if unsuccessful.
Explanation
The GetPaperSize method retrieves the paper size and specified printing area from the printer device context. When the UnitMode parameter is vikPrinterPixel, the ALeft, ATop, ARight, ABottom, AWidth, and AHeight parameters will be in pixel units. When the UnitMode parameter is vikPrinterMM, the ALeft, ATop, ARight, ABottom, AWidth, and AHeight parameters will be in 0.1mm units.
Differences between the ImageKit7/8/9
In VCL the constants contain a "v". In ActiveX, the constants
are: ikPrinterPixel, ikPrinterMM
Methods that pass a TRect type have been added.
