[BASIC] Advanced printing macro's

[zenlord]

Hi,
New round of my printing macro's. Features:
1. Select output trays
2. Select background on/off (usefull to print on stationary)
3. Convert a letter to PDF and attach it to a new e-mail
4. Select printer (NEW)

To use these macro's as-is (at your own risk, of course), just c/p the code to your document, make a few buttons and assign them to the macro's fax_close, mail_close, etc. and import the dialog that I have attached (not possible due to unsupported extension - just design a simple dialog with a listbox and an 'OK'-button).

Code: Select all

Removed (see post below)

If you can help me with adding some error handling, that would be nice

[zenlord]

Added ErrorHandling, rewrote some comments, added insertDTstampLastPage:

Newer version down below!

Code: Select all

Development has been ongoing the past two weeks, and a new function has been added 'SmartClose' - you now only need two buttons: one to print and send out the document and one to print an extra copy of the letter. I also copied/wrote two functions to get the contents of an input-field / userinput-field and used that in the set of macro's:

Newer version below!

Code: Select all

REM ** VERSIONING **
'Version 2.1 (19 okt 2012)
' Thanks To JohnV, I have added new functions to get the contents of (user)inputfields
' and applied them in a new 'Smart_close' -function that chooses
'  automatically, based on the contents of a certain inputfield, how the
'  letter should be printed / sent
'Version 2.0.1 (12 okt 2012)
' Thanks To Bernard Marcelly, I have added explicit declarations everywhere
'  and simplified the loops
'Version 2.0 (11 okt 2012)
' Added simple ErrorHandler and rewrote comments

Version 2.2: added a function to automate the choice for the right mailsystem, depending on the operating system:

Code: Select all

REM ** VERSIONING **
'Version 2.2 (19 okt 2012)
' I have added a function getOS() to differentiate between windows-computers and other
' ones, to be able to automate the choice between simpleSystemMail and simpleCommandMail
'Version 2.1 (19 okt 2012)
' Thanks To JohnV, I have added new functions to get the contents of (user)inputfields
' and applied them in a new 'Smart_close' -function that chooses
'  automatically, based on the contents of a certain inputfield, how the
'  letter should be printed / sent
'Version 2.0.1 (12 okt 2012)
' Thanks To Bernard Marcelly, I have added explicit declarations everywhere
'  and simplified the loops
'Version 2.0 (11 okt 2012)
' Added simple ErrorHandler and rewrote comments

Next projects:
1. Add hardcoded arrays for all known printers to include information about the availability of multiple trays (since this information cannot be fetched dynamically apparently)
2. Automating fax sending directly from the pc to the faxprinter
3. Center the dialog on screen to chose the printer (low priority)
4. Start testing a completely new range of macro's around PostgreSQL to record timestamps when the document was opened en closed again, in order to generate automated timesheets.
