Displaying the Page Setup Dialog Box

You can use the PageSetupDlg() API function to display the Page Setup dialog box.  All that's required is the initialization of a PAGESETUPDLG structure and a single call to PageSetupDlg() function.  The example below uses the VCL TPrinter object to invoke the changes.  Also demonstrated is the use of a hook procedure for centering the dialog box relative to the calling Form.

KEYWORDS: PageSetupDlg(), PAGESETUPDLG.
