PrinterProperties function

Applies to: desktop apps only

The PrinterProperties function displays a printer-properties property sheet for the specified printer.

Syntax

Copy

BOOL PrinterProperties(
  __in  HWND hWnd,
  __in  HANDLE hPrinter
);

Parameters

hWnd [in]: A handle to the parent window of the property sheet.
hPrinter [in]: A handle to a printer object. Use the OpenPrinter or AddPrinter function to retrieve a printer handle.

Return value

If the function succeeds, the return value is a nonzero value.

If the function fails, the return value is zero.

Remarks

Note This is a blocking or synchronous function and might not return immediately. How quickly this function returns depends on run-time factors such as network status, print server configuration, and printer driver implementation—factors that are difficult to predict when writing an application. Calling this function from a thread that manages interaction with the user interface could make the application appear to be unresponsive.
