Printdlg in 64-bit Apps Problem

[rksaskia]

Hello,

in 64-bit applications you show the PrintEx dialog, instead of the normal print dialog.

From your source code:
StiPrintProvider.UseEXDialog = StiPrintProvider.UseEXDialog | size;

First Question: Why?

Now the problem:
In that dialog you must click twice to print. The dialog has not the focus.

Can you help?

Hello,

In the .NET framework 2/3 often appeared the following bug: the standard print dialog box appears behind the current window, and out of focus.
The PrintEx dialog always appears always ahead, but the focus is not always.

In the new framework (4 and higher) we did not check it if it is important - we will check it.

Thank you.

Hello,

have they found a solution (printex-dialog no focus)?

Hello,

You can use the static option in your code:
Stimulsoft.Report.Print.StiPrintProvider.UseEXDialog = false;

Also, some clients on the Windows 7 64 bit the problem of the print dialog not showing up and immediately returning Canceled.

Thank you.
