GetVersion - Property Returns current version number of PocketHTMLprint

Syntax: int vsn = hpr.GetVersion;

Returns: Integer representation of version number = (Major * 1000) + Minor. For example: version 1.3 would return value of 1300.

PrintJob - Prints the current job and leaves the instance of PocketHTMLprint ready to receive another HTML print job. To close the instance of HTMLpr after the print job, use HTMLpr_Close() instead).

Syntax: bool PrintJob(bool KeepPrinterConnection);

Parameter: KeepPrinterConnection - If true, keeps the current printer connection open after canceling the print job. If false, closes the printer connection.

Returns: true if successful, false otherwise. Check ErrVal property for more info on error (see below)

SendFile - Print HTML file - can either be local file or Internet-based URL to HTML web page that will be downloaded and printed.

Syntax: bool SendFile(string pfilename);

Parameter: pfilename - Filename (with path if local file, or full URL if remote web page). For example, local file might look like:
   "file://\\My%20Documents\\HTML\\testing1.htm"
 while a remote URL might look like:
   "http://www.fieldsoftware.com/PrintPocketCE.htm"

Returns: true if successful, false otherwise. Check ErrVal property for more info on error (see below)

SendStr - Adds HTML string to current print job. This method can be called multiple times to send strings of HTML code until the HTML page has been fully sent. Close() must be called to print the final HTML page.

Syntax: 2 overloaded versions
bool SendAsciiStr(string pstr);
bool SendAsciiStr(string pstr, int scnt);

Parameters:
pstr - HTML text string
scnt - count of characters to print in string (if omitted or <= 0, entire string will be used 

Returns: true if successful, false otherwise. Check ErrVal property for more info on error (see below)

SetupAll - Do initial setup and prep, including optionally allowing user to select HTML printing options and printer settings.

Syntax: bool SetupAll(USER_SELECT whichoptions);

Parameter: whichoptions - Selects which optional user settings will be used:

Note that if user presses "Quick Print" on "HTML printing options" dialog, the Printer Selection dialog will be skipped, even if HTML_AllOptions is used.

Returns: true if successful, false otherwise. Check ErrVal property for more info on error (see below).

Notes:
#1: HTML print options can be programmatically set using SetupHTMLOptions.
#2: Select Printer options can be programmatically set - see "Programmatically Selecting Printer and Paper Types" section below.

SetupHTMLOptions - Programmatically set HTML print options (allows skipping HTML Options dialog).

Syntax:  
void SetupHTMLOptions(PRINTSIZE sizing,int CustomSize,PAGERANGE range,int PgFrom,
  int PgTo,int Copies,bool PrintHeader,bool ReduceTextSize)


Parameters:
sizing - Select one of 3 size options:

CustomSize - If "PrintSizing" is set to PRINTSIZE_CUSTOM, CustomSize is percentage to shrink/enlarge the printed HTML page. Valid range is 25% to 250%.

range - Select one of two page range options:

PgFrom - starting page to print if PrintRange set to PAGERANGE_PAGES

PgTo - last page to print if PrintRange set to PAGERANGE_PAGES

Copies - Number of copies of HTML document to print

PrintHeader - If true, prints header containing HTML page title and page number, plus footer containing URL address and date/time of print job. 

ReduceTextSize - If true reduces all text sizes by about 1/4

Programmatically Selecting Printer and Paper Types

Most programs that use PocketHTMLprint will want to allow the user to select the printer, connection type (ie. Infrared, Bluetooth, network, serial) as well as paper type. However, some applications need to programmatically set the printer and paper settings in order to restrict users to one specific printer, connection and paper combination. The methods detailed below can be used to set printer and paper values programmatically.

Here is an example of code that programmatically sets HTML print options and printer settings. SetScaleMode() is used to set scale mode of measurement values for SetupPaper to inches, centimeters, etc (see ScaleMode method in PrinterCE SDK documentation).

//Set HTML print options and Printer settings
hpr.SetupHTMLOptions(PRINTSIZE_SHRINKTOFIT,0,PAGERANGE_ALL,0,0,1,true,true);
hpr.SetupNetPath(@"\\FieldSoft\HP995c");
hpr.SetupPrinter(PR_HP_PCL, PORT_NETPATH, S_DONTCARE);
hpr.SetScaleMode(HTMLpr.MEASUREMENT_UNITS.INCHES);
hpr.SetupPaper(vbLetter, vbPortrait, 0, 0, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5);
hpr.SetupPrinterOther(FFEED_NORMAL,1.0,DENSITY_NORMAL,SOFTWARE_HANDSHAKE,BITFLAG_COLOR,
           COMPRESSED_ON,DITHER_ON,DRAFTMODE_OFF);
//Now, setup HTMLpr but do not pop up HTML options or Select Printer dialog
hpr.SetupAll(NO_OPTIONS);

SetupNetIPPrinter

Set IP address and port for networked print server. SetupNetIPPrinter must be called before calling SetupPrinter().

Syntax: void SetupNetIPPrinter(string netstr,int port,bool OpenPort);

Parameters

netstr - IP address string
port - IP port value
OpenPort - true if want to establish communication link immediately

Example: prce.SetupNetIPPrinter("192.168.0.234",9101,false);

SetupNetSharedPrinter

Set IP address and port for networked print server. SetupNetIPPrinter must be called before calling SetupPrinter().  SetupNetSharedPrinter must be called before calling SetupPrinter().

Syntax: void SetupNetSharedPrinter(string netstr,bool OpenPort);

Parameters

netstr - Network path string to shared printer.
OpenPort - true if want to establish communication link immediately

Example: prce.SetupNetSharedPrinter("\\\\FieldSoft\\HP995c",true);
This establishes connection to printer "HP995c" on networked PC "FieldSoft".

SetupPrinter

Programmatically set the printer and port settings. (See also SetupAllPrinterSettings).
