In This Topic

Returns the height of the paper to be used by the active printer.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#
Delphi
JScript
Managed Extensions for C++
C++/CLI

'Declaration
 
Public Function PrintGetPaperHeight() As Single

public float PrintGetPaperHeight()

public function PrintGetPaperHeight(): Single;

public function PrintGetPaperHeight() : float;

public: float PrintGetPaperHeight();

public:
float PrintGetPaperHeight();

Return Value

The paper height, in inches. The GetStat method can be subsequently used or the PrintGetStat method to determine if this method has been successful.

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.
