Hi,

I'm developing a printer driver.It doesn't do any
rendering. All it does is displaying the UI to capture
print settings. That UI should have my own property
sheets.

Is it possible to replace Unidrvui.dll with my own ui dll
for Unidrv minidriver?

Or can I have a dummy rendering dll and my own UI dll?
What could be the implications?

Thanks,
Kiran

Hi Kiran,

I don't know if you saw my earlier reply to a similar
question.

A recommendation from the DDK is to "hide" the system
supplied property sheets and then "add" your own property
pages. Please check the DDk for further details.

Hi Kiran,

I am assuming that you do not have the sources to build
your own UNIDRVUI.DLL in order to replace the one provided
by Microsoft. Chances are other printer drivers on the
system will need the Microsoft provided UNIDRVUI.DLL.

What your own UI plug-in can do is "modify" the pages
provided UNIDRVUI. Of course, you can design your own UI
DLL so that is totally independent of the one provided by
UNIDRVUI.DLL. You will not want to call it UNIDRVUI.DLL.
