PrintAbortDoc (ImageKit Control/PrintDraw Method)

This method terminates the current print job.

[C++Builder] [ bool = ]imagekitcontrolname->PrintDraw->PrintAbortDoc()

[Delphi] [ Boolean = ]imagekitcontrolname.PrintDraw.PrintAbortDoc

Parameters

None

Return Value

Returns True if successful. Returns False if unsuccessful.

Explanation

The PrintAbortDoc method terminates the current print job and erases everything the application has written to the device since the last call of the PrintStartDoc method. The PrintAbortDoc method should be used with the PrintStartDoc, PrintStartPage, PrintEndPage, and the PrintEndDoc methods and is written between PrintStartPage and PrintEndPage. Note: when the ButtonName, Caption, and Message properties are set and the Cancel Printing dialog box is displayed, the ImageKit9 calls the PrintAbortDoc method internally so it is not necessary to use this method in such cases.

Example for terminating a print job

In C++Builder

bool Ret;
int i;
bool bAbort = false;

VImageKit1->PrintDraw->PrintFileName = "Default";
if (VImageKit1->PrintDraw->PrintCreateDC(vikPrintFileName) == false) return;

VImageKit1->PrintDraw->DocName = "ImageKit Print Sample";
if (VImageKit1->PrintDraw->PrintStartDoc() != false) {
   for (i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
      VImageKit1->PrintDraw->PrintStartPage();

      //Draw text or image here

      if (i == 50) {
         VImageKit1->PrintDraw->PrintAbortDoc();
         bAbort = true;
      }
      VImageKit1->PrintDraw->PrintEndPage();
      if (bAbort) break;
   }
    VImageKit1->PrintDraw->PrintEndDoc();
}
VImageKit1->PrintDraw->PrintDeleteDC();

In Delphi

Ret: Boolean;
i: Integer;
bAbort: Boolean;

VImageKit1.PrintDraw.PrintFileName := 'Default';
if VImageKit1.PrintDraw.PrintCreateDC(vikPrintFileName) = False then Exit;

VImageKit1.PrintDraw.DocName := 'ImageKit Print Sample';
if (VImageKit1.PrintDraw.PrintStartDoc <> False) then
begin
   bAbort := False;
   for i := 0 to 99 do
   begin
      VImageKit1.PrintDraw.PrintStartPage;

      //Draw text or image here

      if i = 50 then
      begin
         VImageKit1.PrintDraw.PrintAbortDoc;
         bAbort := True;
      end;
      VImageKit1.PrintDraw.PrintEndPage;
      if bAbort then Break;
   end;
   VImageKit1.PrintDraw.PrintEndDoc;
end;
VImageKit1.PrintDraw.PrintDeleteDC;
