PrintSetAlignment Method (GdViewer)

In This Topic
Sets up the value of an image alignment setting of the active printer. This value determines how the image is aligned when printing.
Syntax
'Declaration

 


Public Function PrintSetAlignment( _

   ByVal ImageAlignment As PrintAlignment _

) As GdPictureStatus
public GdPictureStatus PrintSetAlignment( 

   PrintAlignment ImageAlignment

)
public function PrintSetAlignment( 

    ImageAlignment: PrintAlignment

): GdPictureStatus; 
public function PrintSetAlignment( 

   ImageAlignment : PrintAlignment

) : GdPictureStatus;
public: GdPictureStatus PrintSetAlignment( 

   PrintAlignment ImageAlignment

) 
public:

GdPictureStatus PrintSetAlignment( 

   PrintAlignment ImageAlignment

)

Parameters

ImageAlignment
A member of the PrintAlignment enumeration. The new value of the image alignment property.

Return Value

A member of the GdPictureStatus enumeration. If the method has been successfully followed, then the return value is GdPictureStatus.OK.

We strongly recommend always checking this status first.

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.
