HTML ocx control printing

[paulDiagnos]

Hi guys,

Does anyone know how to start the printing process for html documents in the ocx control

this is my code below, with added stuff from another post but doesnt seem to work ?

vVar =htmlfile
Object Call DISPATCH_html_htmlOCX.Navigate(VvAR)
Dim vID As Variant, vOpt As Variant
vID = 6 AS LONG  ' %OLECMDID_PRINT
vOpt = 1 AS LONG  ' OLECMDEXECOPT_PROMPTUSER
Object Call DISPATCH_html_htmlOCX.ExecWB(vID, vOpt)

any ideas?

thanks Paul.

FOr some reason if i put

Dim vID As Variant, vOpt As Variant
vID = 6 As Long  ' %OLECMDID_PRINT
vOpt = 1 As Long  ' OLECMDEXECOPT_PROMPTUSER
Object Call DISPATCH_html_htmlOCX.ExecWB(vID, vOpt)                      

in another function it works.
never mind problem solved.

Just a wild guess but maybe the .Navigate physically takes some time to execute and needs
a slight delay before you start trying to print.

Just a thought.

i think your right. a sleep function managed to do it too .

Ok breathing life into this question again ...

hmm bit of a arse this problem.

but as is my speciality i have found away round it.
open the html document using shell execute, and let the User print using explorer.

bit cheaty but im sick of this problem :-)
