Hi Vlad,

I did a little digging using the Spy++ tool from Visual Studio. There are a ton of additional controls on that dialog that seem to be moved off the visible portion. There seem to be hidden controls for paper source, orientation, and properties. It seems to have almost everything you would expect a printer selection dialog to contain.

Since they're all hidden I wouldn't expect VFP to respect them if you could change them.

VFP7 does it too.
