This is not really a VB problem but I wonder if you can cast any light. My
app (VB6) uses the Common Dialog stuff to do the Printer Setup. In WinXP,
the action of this dialog is different to Win2K in that selecting a printer
(which used to just affect the current app) makes that printer the Default
and thus affects all applications which is a bit unsociable.
I am somewhat annoyed at Microsoft (a normal state I know) for changing
stuff which has been around for years. Do you know if there is a fix
available? Seems rather OTT to make my app O/S aware just to make the
dialog behave itself (if indeed it can be made to). 8 947

Hi
I am rearching the issue and I will update you with new information ASAP.
BTW: as Herfried said, this queue is for VB.NET only,
For legacy VB6 groups, you can post that question in the
microsoft.public.vb.* hierarchy.

Hi
Based on my research, the VB common dialog controls are just a thin wrapper
over comdlg32.dll, which changes with each OS, so I think this behavior is
by design.
If you need to keep a uniform UI, I think we may need to write our own
"printer dialog" which is not a trivial thing.
To retrieve the printer information, web can use GDI API.
e.g. GetPrinter http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...us/gdi/prntspo
l_1gky.asp
Here is a link about how to call that in GetPrinter. http://www.vbcity.com/forums/topic.asp?tid=52784
If you still have any concern, please feel free to post here.
