Re: Question about PMSetPrintSettingsExtendedData

I am writing a PDE where the custom controls in the PDE pane h ve to be initialised by values sent from the main application.

The sample PDEproject seems not to illustrate exchange of data in this direction but only from the PDE to the main app.

I inserted the following code in DoPrint just before the call to PMSessionUseSheets

{

Boolean extendedData=true;

long lgnExtendedData=sizeof(extendedData);

err = PMSetPrintSettingsExtendedData( printSettings, 'PRDX', lgnExtendedData,

(void*)&extendedData );

}

                    if(!err){

                        err = PMSessionUseSheets(printSession, parentWindow, myPrintDialogDoneProc);

.......

PMSetPrintSettingsExtendedData returns noErr : everything seems OK on the app side.

In the PDE, the data is not found : PMTicketGetCFData returns kPMKeyNotFound.

I checked that the kMyAppPrintSettingsKey constant value is CFSTR("com.apple.print.PrintSettingsTicket.PRDX")
