PpSetPC()

Modify the attributes of a print context

Synopsis:

int PpSetPC( PpPrintContext_t *pc, 
             int member, 
             void const * const data,
             int lock );

Arguments:

pc: The pointer to a PpPrintContext_t structure that was returned by PpCreatePC().
member: The member of the print context to modify, as given in the table below. For a description of the members, see PpPrintContext_t.
data: A pointer to the data to be assigned to the specified print context member.
lock: If nonzero, the PtPrintSel widget and properties applications won't override or allow modification of the member; its value is locked. Locked members have their controls dimmed and inactive in the PtPrintSel widget or PtPrintSelection() dialog.

Library:

Description:

This function provides a mechanism to modify the attributes of a print context.

Don't modify the print context directly, as the appropriate changed bits won't be set and the application may stop working if the print context structure is redefined in the future.

Use the data types given below when setting the value of the members of the print context.

In the following table:

"String" indicates a char * pointer to a null-terminated sequence of characters.
"char *" indicates a char * pointer to a value in the range 0x0 to 0xFF.

By default, all members are 0 or NULL.

Returns:

0: Success.
-1: An error occurred. See errno for details.

Errors:

EACCES: The specified member couldn't be changed because it's locked.
ESRCH: An unknown member was specified.

Examples:

set_my_apps_Pp_prefs( PpPrintContext_t *pc )
    {
    char do_preview = 1, duplex = some_value;
    PpSetPC( pc, Pp_PC_DO_PREVIEW, &do_preview, 0 );
    PpSetPC( pc, Pp_PC_DUPLEX, &duplex, 0 );
    // etc...
    }
