How to programatically call LV's Print Preview and/or modify that

[linnx]

Hi,

I need to be able to programatically call LV's Print Preview function (the one you see when you do a File -> Print -> Next -> Preview). LV seems to make it extremely difficult to do any kind of print previewing. Also I wou

ld like to be able to modify that VI b/c we have a case where there are multiple sub-vis we would like to print which are on the screen and we want to see a print preview of that. Kind 

of like a WYSIWIG print editor. Any help is greatly appreciated.

DIAdem express vi is out of the question b/c you need DIAdem and that means a run time license for users, that is a prohibitive cost. :headbang:

I've read this post, and the others that you have posted about this problem and I'm still not seeing it. Could you post a screenshot of what you would like to be able to do?

To see the dialog in LabVIEW, go to File->Print->Next->Preview.

I gave some recommendations for programming a similar dialog in LabVIEW in this thread on ni.com. It basically involves the LabVIEW Picture Control and some VI Server methods that do most of the legwork for you.
