SetDefaultConfig

The SetDefaultConfig and SetDefaultConfigEx methods are used set the current printer configuration as default for all applications. These calls are needed when modifying some of the printer properties so that applications can take these properties into account. The document of all printer parameters or properties specifies when this call is needed.

Syntax

ActiveX:

DLL:

Parameters

Return Value

SetDefaultConfig and SetDefaultConfigEx return True if successful, False otherwise.

Remarks

The SetDefaultConfig method posts a Windows message to all running applications, including the application that calls this function, to notify the applications that the printer settings have changed. The notification can take a few seconds if there are a number of applications running.

SetDefaultConfigEx does the same as SetDefaultConfig but without the notification. It can be useful when modifying the printer settings when installing the application or before the application is launched.

Example

Visual Basic .Net
C#
C++
Java
PowerShell
VBScript
