This is related to the other thread (thread #1154292 part II).

After googling it out for numerous hours, I still don't see the connection between the dialog ActiveX object, the host it runs for, and how to get the user selection from it. The only way I found to retrieve something from it is to set it to keep the hDC of the selected printer, but then I can't find a way to find the printer name from hDC. Michel's restriction on keywords in search is partially to blame, "printer from hdc" won't work, "from" is a keyword, and "printer hdc" gives me all the myriad messages about printing from RTF control :).

So, question #1: how do I get the printer properties from the hDC? I may just let the dialog set the windows default printer (as the printer doesn't change for VFP if I don't) and then restore it when I'm done, but that's ugly.

Question #2: how can I filter out the printers it shows? It shows ALL the printers, and I want to kick out any of them that have "PDF" in the name. Or at least can I have a dialog that shows the printer setup for just one given printer name, without the ability to select a printer? Then I'd have a combo with a (filtered) selection elsewhere.
