Creating a plot using ProPrintExecute

[benz2]

I'm stuck. I've run out of ideas, but I must be doing something lame here. My call to ProPrintPCFOptionsGet is returning an empty structure, and that in turn is making ProPrintExecute error out.

//BEGIN CODE
ProMdl model = new ProMdl();
ProMdlCurrentGet(&model);

ProError ret_val = PRO_TK_NO_ERROR;
int win_id;

//initialize options
ProPrintPrinterOpts print_opts;
ProPrintMdlOpts mdl_opts;
ProPrintPlacementOpts placement_opts;

ProPath path = L"C:\\ptc\\location\\printing\\config_file.pcf"; //location to pcf to be used

ret_val = ProWindowCurrentGet(&win_id);

if(ret_val == PRO_TK_NO_ERROR) ret_val = ProPrintPCFOptionsGet(path, model, &print_opts, &mdl_opts, &placement_opts);

if(ret_val == PRO_TK_NO_ERROR) ret_val = ProPrintExecute(win_id, &print_opts, &mdl_opts, &placement_opts);
//END CODE

Anyone see some obvious error in here?

Thx,

Ben Franklin

Hello Ben!

This is the code I'm using in my application.

ProError err;

ProPrintMdlOpts MdlOptions;

ProPrintPrinterOpts PrinterOptions;

ProPrintPlacementOpts PlaceOptions;

ProMdlType MdlType;

err = ProMdlTypeGet(m_Drw, &MdlType);

if (MdlType != PRO_MDL_DRAWING)

return PRO_TK_INVALID_ITEM;

err = ProMdlDisplay(m_Drw);

err = ProMdlWindowGet(m_Drw, &m_WinID);

err = ProWindowActivate(m_WinID);

err = ProWindowRefresh(m_WinID);

err = ProPrintPCFOptionsGet(L"tiff", m_Drw, &PrinterOptions, &MdlOptions, &PlaceOptions);

wcscpy_s(PrinterOptions.filename, PRO_PATH_SIZE, Name);

MdlOptions.use_drawing_size = PRO_B_TRUE;

PrinterOptions.save_to_file = PRO_B_TRUE;

PrinterOptions.send_to_printer = PRO_B_FALSE;

err = ProPrintExecute(m_WinID, &PrinterOptions, &MdlOptions, &PlaceOptions);

return err;
