Hi Victor, The way I did solve this was to demand a speciel name for the print file.
In my printing routine a made a short procedure that simply renamesd the just printed file with a new name. Something like this: '-------------------------- Presetting: read from a INI file: PRINTFILE=C:\Printed.prn NEWDIR=C:\JUSTPRINTED\ PRINTNAMECOL=NAME '---------------------------- Printing: '...all these things that have to be done before printing... 'Print the actual layout window PrintWin nWID 'Let's wait a while while the print file is created 'I had some problems if I tried to rename the file immidiately after printing Call WaitAWhile(5) 'This procudure renames the printfile to the things returned with these functions (could be variables as well Call RenamePrintFile(GetPrintFileName$(), GetNewDirVariable$() & GetCurrentPrintName$()) 'Now get the next to print HTH, Peter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Peter Horsb�ll M�ller, GIS Udviklingskonsulent / GIS-Developer Kampsax A/S - GIS Software & Solutions Rugaardsvej 55, 5000 Odense, DK tel: +45 6313 5013, dir:+45 6313 5008, fax: +45 6313 5090 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] www.kampsax-gis.dk and www.kampsax.dk Authorized MapInfo Partner & Distributor in Denmark and Norway. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Klik ind p� http://www.kortal.dk og se det hele lidt fra oven! ----- Videresendt af Peter M�ller/Kampsax - 26-03-2002 16:43 ----- "vic reeves" <ixlme@hotmai Til: [EMAIL PROTECTED] l.com> cc: Vedr.: MI-L Dialog Control 25-03-2002 16:21 Fellow mappers, Does anyone know of an equivalent command to "alter mapinfodialog" statement to directly control common windows dialog. I'm trying to control the windows "print to file" dialog and need to seed the filename automatically (batch plotting thousands of maps). Are there any other ways (API) of control the "print to file" system? tia Victor _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
