EnumPaperBinsVariant (ImageKit Control/PrintDraw Method)

This method retrieves the paper tray names and tray numbers from the printer designated by the printer name.

[Visual Basic] [ Long = ]imagekitcontrolname.PrintDraw.EnumPaperBinsVariant(BinNames As Variant, BinNumbers As Variant)

[VB.NET] [ Integer = ]imagekitcontrolname.PrintDraw.EnumPaperBinsVariant(ByRef BinNames As Object, ByRef BinNumbers As Object)

[C#.NET] [ int = ]imagekitcontrolname.PrintDraw.EnumPaperBinsVariant(ref object BinNames, ref object BinNumbers)

Parameters

Name	Explanation
BinNames	The string containing the retrieved paper tray names
BinNumbers	* NOTE for retrieving array values: In Visual Basic / VB.NET, if Dim Bnum, then the arguments are returned in Bnum. In C#.NET the arguments are returned in ref Bnum.

Return Value

Returns the number of retrieved items. Returns 0 if unsuccessful.

Explanation

The EnumPaperBinsVariant method retrieves the supported paper tray names and tray numbers from the printer designated by the printer name.

This method is recommended when using scripting or other languages that require variant types or when using 64 bit builds in VB.NET or C#.

If you need to know the number of elements in the array, the GetArrayNum method can be used to retrieve this. The BinNames string will be returned as "xxxxx,xxxxx,xxxxx,¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥," (delimited by commas and ends with a comma).

Sample code:

VB.NET

Dim Ret As Integer

ImageKit1.PrintDraw.PrinterName = "EPSON LP-8200C"

Dim BinNames As Object = Nothing

Dim BinNumbers As Object = Nothing

Ret = ImageKit1.PrintDraw.EnumPaperBinsVariant(BinNames, BinNumbers)

If Ret < 1 Then Exit Sub

' various programming code

.........

C#.NET

int Ret;

ImageKit1.PrintDraw.PrinterName = "EPSON LP-8200C";

object BinNames = null;

object BinNumbers = null;

Ret = ImageKit1.PrintDraw.EnumPaperBinsVariant(ref BinNames, ref BinNumbers);

if (Ret < 1) return;
