Title: to print url/html file using IE browser
Question: How can I print url/html file using IE browser?
Answer:
I want to show how you can activate printing of any url and/or html file using installed IE.
I solved this task yesterday and solution is very useful and have a small
size:-)
uses ComObj;
procedure PrintHTMLByIE(const url: string);
const
OLECMDID_PRINT = $00000006;
OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER = $00000002;
var
ie, vaIn, vaOut: Variant;
begin
ie := CreateOleObject('InternetExplorer.Application');
ie.Navigate(url);
ie.Visible := True;
ie.ExecWB(OLECMDID_PRINT, OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER, vaIn, vaOut);
end;
Sample:
PrintHTMLByIE('file:\\c:\misha\webpage\index.htm');
or
PrintHTMLByIE('http:\\www.scalabium.com\sme\index.htm');
