INFO: Printing Features Not Available in VBCE

MORE INFORMATION

The Printers collection, Printer object, and PrintForm method are not available in VBCE or eVB.

There are several alternative methods that you can use:

• · Print via an ActiveX component made in either the Windows CE Toolkit for Visual C++ (VCCE) or with eMbedded Visual C++. This control must be made by the developer or purchased from a third-party vendor.
• Create a file to be printed, synchronize the file to the desktop computer, and print the file from the desktop.
• Send text to the printer via the serial/IR port. If necessary, include appropriate printer commands (escape codes).
• Create a text file. Open and print the text file in Pocket Word.

NOTE: The VBCE Common Dialog Box control released with the Microsoft Windows CE ActiveX Control Pack does not support functions related to printing.
