R rossj New Member Licensed User Feb 25, 2008 #1 How do you access enumeration values in external dll's ? I am trialling the FieldSoftware PrinterCE program which uses Enumerations in some of the properties. For example: the "PrOrientation" property uses ORIENTATION.PORTRAIT or ORIENTATION.LANDSCAPE - the example they give is: PrinterCE1.PrOrientation = PrinterCE.ORIENTATION.LANDSCAPE <-this is the issue.:sign0085:

R rossj New Member Licensed User Feb 27, 2008 #3 Thanks Erel, but I had already tried that option. It causes an "ArgumentException". I contacted Field Software by email and they sent me a link to download a list of their global user definitions (prceuser.h). That does give a list of the value of each enumeration instead of trying to guess the value - but it doesn't solve the probelm. I have responded to their email advising there must be something in their code causing the exception. I'll advise you if they have a solution.

Needs also PrCE_NetCF.DLL and PrinterCE.NETCF.DLL form FieldSoftware. Attachments dzPrinterCE.zip dzPrinterCE.zip 11.3 KB · Views: 513

R rossj New Member Licensed User Feb 28, 2008 #6 Hi Guys, The repsonse from Field Software was "We have not used Basic4ppc, so you will need to contact their support to determine how to accomplish what you are seeking." I will download your wrapper - thanks for your assistance.
