hi all, i need to print popups from user operator, but i can't find a command to do that. frsprintmainpicture is the only command i found, but it print only the main picture and not popups.

Any idea?

  • About 8 years ago I had the requirement to print the entire screen (including pop ups and main graphic) from operate.  I ran into the same problem that Operate VBA did not have access to the 'printer' object.  I googled (at the time) "vb6 print screen code", found a great example published by MS, and rolled it into an executable that when called from the frsruntask command in operate sent a screen shot to the default printer of the workstation.  

    Unless you still have your vb6 IDE, you can download a free version of VB.NET 2010 (or 2011 or 2012, not sure) Express and google "vb.net print screen code."

    By the way, the vb6 app is still in service and works on Server 2008 and Windows 7 for v11.3.1 of DeltaV, like all great vb6 executables do!
