In This Topic

Returns the physical margins (x and y coordinates), that are part of the default page settings property of the active printer. Both margins are used as defaults for all pages to be printed.

'Declaration

 

Public Sub PrintGetMargins( _

   ByRef LeftMargin As Single, _

   ByRef TopMargin As Single _

)

public void PrintGetMargins( 

   ref float LeftMargin,

   ref float TopMargin

)

public procedure PrintGetMargins( 

   var  LeftMargin: Single;

   var  TopMargin: Single

);

public function PrintGetMargins( 

   LeftMargin : float,

   TopMargin : float

);

public: void PrintGetMargins( 

   ref float LeftMargin,

   ref float TopMargin

)

public:

void PrintGetMargins( 

   float% LeftMargin,

   float% TopMargin

)

Parameters

LeftMargin: Output parameter. The physical margin (x-coordinate) at the left of the page, in inches.
TopMargin: Output parameter. The physical margin (y-coordinate) at the top of the page, in inches.

Remarks

It is recommend to use the GetStat method or the PrintGetStat method to identify the specific reason for the method's failure, if any.

Just to remind you that the active printer is the printer identified by the PrintGetActivePrinter method or set by the PrintSetActivePrinter method and it is dedicated to executing all subsequent print jobs using this class as well as utilizing all by you altered printer settings.
