Before you begin:
The Print property sheet is a standard user interface that enables the user to specify the properties of a particular print job.



The first page of a Print property sheet is the General page. The property sheet can also have additional application-specific and driver-specific property pages following the General page. The lower portion of the General page is a child dialog box template with controls similar to those of the Print Dialog Box.

    My comment:
    When populating the PRINTDLGEX structure, note that the hwndOwner member cannot be NULL. It must refer to a valid window. As well the lpPageRanges must point at a valid memory block.

    Thank Anatoly for showing how to use this API function:

    For those how would like to find out the pages selected by the user:

    IF nResultAction = 1
     hPages = buf2dword(SUBSTR(cPrintDlgEx, 41,44))
     lnPtr = GlobalLock (hPages)
     lcBuffer = Repli(Chr(0), 8)
     = Heap2Str(@lcBuffer, lnPtr, 8)
     ? "FromPage = " + TRANS(buf2dword(SUBSTR(lcBuffer,1,4)))
     ? "ToPage = " + TRANS(buf2dword(SUBSTR(lcBuffer,5,4)))
     = GlobalUnlock(hPages)
    ENDIF
