Managed Extensions for C++
C++/CLI

'Declaration
 
Public Function PrintGetDocumentName() As String

public string PrintGetDocumentName()

public function PrintGetDocumentName(): String;

public function PrintGetDocumentName() : String;

public: string* PrintGetDocumentName();

public:
String^ PrintGetDocumentName();

Return Value

The value of the active printer document name setting. 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 inform you that the default value specified by the toolkit is "GdPicture Print Process".

Likewise 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.
