Hello All,

I am having an XML file which uses XSL for formatting while showing in
IE. But now I want to print that XML (With XSL formatting)
programaticaly without opening in IE.

Any Help will be highly appreciated.


Thanks and Regards,

Paresh.

Hello Alex,
I did but could not get the result as expected. Following is the code
snippet for this::

CRect client;
RECT rect;
rect.left = rect.top = rect.right = rect.bottom = 0;
GetClientRect(&client);
if (!m_wndBrowser.CreateControl(CLSID_WebBrowser, NULL,
WS_VISIBLE|WS_CHILD, rect, this, AFX_IDW_PANE_FIRST))
{
TRACE("Can't create Web Browser control window.\n");
//return FALSE;
}

IUnknown *pUnk=m_wndBrowser.GetControlUnknown();
ASSERT(pUnk);

HRESULT hr=pUnk->QueryInterface(IID_IWebBrowser2, (void
**)&pBrowser);
if (!SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
TRACE("WebBrowser interface not supported.\n");
//return FALSE;
}

//CString url("C:\\temp\\JP\\MQCReport.xml");
BSTR bUrl=strFilePath.AllocSysString();
hr=pBrowser->Navigate(bUrl, &COleVariant((long)0, VT_I4),
&COleVariant((LPCTSTR)NULL, VT_BSTR), NULL,
&COleVariant((LPCTSTR)NULL, VT_BSTR));
if (!SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
AfxMessageBox("can't browse!!");
//return FALSE;
}

//::Sleep(1000);

READYSTATE state;
hr = pBrowser->get_ReadyState(&state);

VARIANT_BOOL bIsVisible;
pBrowser->get_Visible(&bIsVisible);

// READYSTATE state = READYSTATE_UNINITIALIZED;
/* while(state != READYSTATE_LOADED )
{
pBrowser->get_ReadyState(&state);
}
*/

// HRESULT hr1 = pBrowser->ExecWB(OLECMDID_PRINT,
OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER, 0, 0);
/* LPDISPATCH lpDispatch = NULL;
LPOLECOMMANDTARGET lpOleCommandTarget = NULL;

//::Sleep(10000);

HRESULT hr1 = pBrowser->get_Document(&lpDispatch);
ASSERT(lpDispatch);

lpDispatch->QueryInterface(IID_IOleCommandTarget,
(void**)&lpOleCommandTarget);
ASSERT(lpOleCommandTarget);

lpDispatch->Release();

// Print contents of WebBrowser control.
// hr1 = lpOleCommandTarget->Exec(NULL, OLECMDID_PRINT, 0,
NULL,NULL);
// hr = pBrowser->get_ReadyState(&state);
hr1 = lpOleCommandTarget->Exec(NULL, OLECMDID_PRINTPREVIEW, 0,
NULL,NULL);
// hr = pBrowser->get_ReadyState(&state);
lpOleCommandTarget->Release();
*/



But READYSTATE_UNINITIALIZED never changes to READYSTATE_LOADED which
is expected. I think page is not loaded completely. How do I resolve
this problem. Help is appreciated.

Thanks Alex ! Now it works for me.

Thank you very much.
