Question:
How do I retrieve the bin names of all bins for a particular
printer using DeviceCapabilities?
Answer:
Here's a very simple app to do this. Just start a brand new
project in Delphi and drop down a TButton and a TMemo. Then
double click the button and paste this code snippet over the
corresponding code in the implementation of Unit1.
uses
WinSpool;
const
PName = 'DELPHI III';
PPort = '\\CONAN\DELPHI_III';
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
i : Integer;
p : PChar;
begin
GetMem(p,24*DeviceCapabilities(PName,PPort,DC_BINNAMES,nil,nil));
with Memo1, Lines do begin
Clear;
for i:=1 to DeviceCapabilities(PName,PPort,DC_BINNAMES,p,nil) do
Add(p+24*(i-1));
end;
FreeMem(p);
end;
