VFP 6 SP5 on WinXP Pro
I do some PDF production in one of my VFP apps. I have no
problems getting the app to use the PDF Writer printer without
involving the user (using the registry setting trick). One of
my routines customizes a Word file via OLE automation, then
prints the result to a PDF. I'd like to suppress the little
dialog that pops up while it is printing this Word
doc. The one that says "Printing" at the top and shows a count
of the pages being printed. I use the Windows LockWindowUpdate
API call at other times to hide UI changes, but this does
not work in this case. I assume this is because Word is the
application originating the PDF Writer activity.
Does anyone know of another way to suppress this little dialog
in a situation like this?
