From: Jason Harrison on 15 Jan 2010 13:59 I'm trying to determine how to remove the standard Unidrv property sheets from a printer preferences/properties dialog. These are the Layout, Paper/Quality, and Advanced pages. I have by modifying my .gpd file removed all but the Advanced page (by using "*ConcealFromUI?: TRUE" for the features on these pages) but I am left with the Advanced page with no entries, and non-functioning OK and Cancel buttons. I found a posting from a few years back suggesting a solution: >Regarding the removal of the property sheets created by Unidrv, I've done >this at runtime using Win32 property sheet APIs calls (done inside the >DocumentPropertySheets() implementation). The insertion of my own property >sheets is done right after the removal of the ones created by Unidrv, again >using Win32 APIs. There is no patching/modification of any system components >(such as Unidrv). However I haven't been able to find the API calls where I can turn the provided PPROPSHEETUI_INFO structure into something that can be used to remove property sheets. - no window handle for PropSheet_RemovePage - the property sheet group provided has no pages in it So I'm left wondering if there is some other way to get a HWND for the property sheet dialog and send it (or one of it's children) a message to remove the property sheet. Of course in DocumentPropertySheets, the dialog isn't yet created so there isn't a window get... Suggestions? -Jason

In hrDocumentPropertyPage do this: // Hide default items for (DWORD i = 0; i < pOEMUIParam->cDrvOptItems; i++) { (pOEMUIParam->pDrvOptItems + i)->Flags |= OPTIF_HIDE; } |
