TiPlotComponent.PrinterName

TiPlotComponent

Specifies the name of the printer to print to when using the PrintChart method.

property PrinterName : String;

Description

Use PrinterName to specify the name of the printer to print to when using the PrintChart method. The name of the printer corresponds to the name of the printer specified in the Windows Printer Control Panel. If this property is set to an empty string, then the default system printer will be used instead.

This property should be set to an empty string in most circumstances as it is only useful if you know the name of the printer (either by displaying your own printer selection dialogs, or loaded user settings from an INI file or the Registry).

Note: if you have set PrintShowDialog to TRUE and have set PrinterName to a non-empty string, then the printer selected by the user will be ignored! The PrinterName property will always override the user printer selection, if you are using our printer dialog If you plan on showing our built-in printer selection dialog to your end user, then you should set the PrinterName property to an empty string for everything to work correctly.

Example

Delphi

iComponent.PrinterName := 'LASERJET4000';

C++ Builder

iComponent->PrinterName = "LASERJET4000";
