How to dismiss a SendMessage dialog for printing in IE8

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

The syntax of SendMessage is

C++

LRESULT retVal= SendMessage(G_hWndPrint[PrintDialog], WM_COMMAND, MAKEWPARAM(IDOK,BN_CLICKED),0);

This prints in IE6 but it does not print in IE8 and I get return value as 0 which is success.

Could some one guide how to print in IE8 using SendMessage or PostMessage?

Additional information - (

C++

_hr = m_pTarget->Exec(NULL,OLECMDID_PRINT,OLECMDEXECOPT_PROMPTUSER,NULL,NULL);

. This will display a Print dialog which has to be edited for no. of copies and then dismissed usindg SendMesage.)

Solution 1

use Spy++ to check the OK-button. Or try to find the window via EnumWindow and the name (from Spy++)

MS changed a lot in the IE 6, 7, 8 and so on. It is a mess...

Stop spamming the forums with these vague comments; they are not solutions.
