Sending PrintPage output to WinFax

[Mladen]

Can someone tell me how can I send the page which I want to print directly to another program like WinFax,without printing it?

[Robby]

WinFax has it's own ActiveX, it is very easy to use. I don't know if they have any .NET libraries yet.

[Mladen]

Robby I figured it out.

Jast adding Print dialog and selecting WinFax from the combo with instaled printers solves the problem.

I thought it would be much harder so I asked for help.

 

Thanks for trying to help

[Robby]

If you were to use the object, it would automate the task.

Just a thought.

Can you tell me how I can "use the winfax" object?

 

Please ;-)

this is how you use vb.net or vb 6 & winFax

 

How to send WinFax Pro faxes using VB 6 or VB .NET from a WinFax Pro client to a WinFax Pro Server

 

Start a project.

Open a form

Reference the winfax.dll in your system 32 directory

 

In VB 6 use this code:

 

Dim sendObj As Object

Private Sub Form_Load()

Set sendObj = CreateObject("WinFax.SDKSend8.0")

sendObj.SetCompany ("AAA Energy Co.")

sendObj.SetTo ("john smith")

sendObj.SetSubject ("Test Faxing")

sendObj.SetCoverFile ("C:\DLoad\BASIC1.CVP")

sendObj.SetCoverText ("Test of cover Page")

sendObj.SetUseCover (1)

sendObj.AddAttachmentFile ("c:\DLoad\License.txt")

sendObj.SetNumber ("1112121")

sendObj.AddRecipient

sendObj.Send (0)

sendObj.Done

 

In VB . Net use this code:

Imports wfxctl32.COleWinFaxAppClass

Imports wfxctl32.CSDKSendClass

Imports wfxctl32.COleAttachmentsClass

Dim sendObj As New wfxctl32.CSDKSend()

sendObj.SetCompany("AAA Energy Co.")

sendObj.SetTo("Brian Hall")

sendObj.SetSubject("Test UDC Faxing")

sendObj.SetCoverFile("C:\DLoad\BASIC1.CVP")

sendObj.SetCoverText("Test of cover Page")

sendObj.SetUseCover(1)

sendObj.AddAttachmentFile("c:\DLoad\License.txt")

sendObj.SetNumber("3271407")

sendObj.AddRecipient()

sendObj.Send(0)

sendObj.Done()

 

That�s It !!

I tried the VB .Net example code and it works. One big problem though. The Print dialog appears and you have to click the [Print] button to continue the process. This is a show stopper as I'm looking for a "hands-off / totally automated" approach. Any suggestions?

pop up window

 

I do see a window pop-up but then it goes away. I don't have to touch anything for the fax to go thru. I have the winfax client on my desktop and the winfax server on a 2K server. Not sure why you have to click print.

 

Dim sendObj As New wfxctl32.CSDKSend()

sendObj.SetCompany("AAA Energy Co.")

sendObj.SetTo("Namel")

sendObj.SetSubject("Test UDC Faxing")

sendObj.AddAttachmentFile("C:\faxdoc \Confirmation.rtf")

sendObj.SetNumber("5556666")

sendObj.AddRecipient()

sendObj.Send(0)

sendObj.Done()
