Hi,

I need to get a hook to the function which launches the
document status window when we double click the printer from
the printer folder.

Can any one tell me who is launching this window? and how to
get a hook?

Thanks,
SRidhar

thats why sending this mail only to your id directly…

I need to get a hook to the function which launches a document

how get a hook to that function.

Thanks,

If I understand you correctly, you are talking about information that is
displayed by the print providor. When you say “…launches a document
status window when a printer is double clicked…”, do you want to
suppress the print queue window that pops up by default or do you want
to display your dialog in addition to the default? In either case, I
can’t think of an easy way to do it from within your print driver UI.
The queue management functions are all implemented by the print providor
and writing a partial print providor is something that I strongly
discourage you (or anyone for that matter) from attempting.

One possible scenario is to implement the DocumentEvent hook on XP and
pop up your “document status window” at DOCUMENTEVENT_STARTDOCPOST or
some such event. You can use the print job SDK level APIs to get job
information that can be displayed in the “document status window”.

Hope this helps.
