That depends on if it's your own dialog, or someon eelses. Most likely, it's from another app, right? Then you might want to check FindWindow and - as you might not have the caption - EnumWindows and EnumChildWindows.

which, presumably, are using either handwritten assembly functions, or inline assembly? Which kind of defeats the purpose, which is platform-endian neutrality. I didn't say they were speed efficient, but they help you produce portable code. Steve S

The logical way to find this would be to use the windows find facility and look for the definition of one of these functions, that's assuming that the MSDN docs don't tell you. I presume that they do and that's why you know the name. If you can't find it ( perhaps by using that handy windows file find function again ), then there's a good chance it's in an SDK you need to download.

I think you need to call EnumPrinters twice, the first time to find out how much memory is required to store the information returned, and the second time to actually get that information. It probably doesn't work unless you allocate enough memory for the information returned. Also, to enumerate all printers, use PRINTER_ENUM_LOCAL refer MSDN for details http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/gdi/prntspol_9fjn.asp[^] sample code DWORD dwSizeNeeded = 0; DWORD dwPrinterCount = 0; BOOL bEnumResult; CString strErr; HANDLE hProcessHeap = GetProcessHeap(); LPPRINTER_INFO_2 lpPrinterData; // call once to find buffer size EnumPrinters(PRINTER_ENUM_LOCAL, NULL, 2, NULL, 0, &dwSizeNeeded, &dwPrinterCount); // allocate buffer memory if ((lpPrinterData = (LPPRINTER_INFO_2)HeapAlloc(hProcessHeap, HEAP_ZERO_MEMORY, dwSizeNeeded)) == NULL) { // error return; } // call again with new buffer size bEnumResult = EnumPrinters (PRINTER_ENUM_LOCAL, NULL, 2, (LPBYTE)lpPrinterData, dwSizeNeeded, &dwSizeNeeded, &dwPrinterCount); if (bEnumResult) { if (dwPrinterCount == 0) { // no printers installed HeapFree(hProcessHeap, 0, lpPrinterData); return; } // got data, process it here } // clean up and return HeapFree(hProcessHeap, 0, lpPrinterData); return;
