Page Setup Dialog - Printer button

Hi.
I have an application developed with Visual Basic 6.0 that use the following
API:

Public Declare Function PAGESETUPDLG Lib "comdlg32.dll" Alias
"PageSetupDlgA" (pPagesetupdlg As PAGESETUPDLG) As Long

This API let me see and use the page setup dialog, where exists a Printer
button that let select a printer.

My problem is in Windows Vista machines, this button is not display.

My questions are:
1. Why this button is not display in Windows Vista?
2. There is a workaround to that behaviour?

Best regards,
SÃ©rgio Martins

Without seeing your code all I can do is make a wild and useless guess. Post
the relevant section of you code.

Possible to add a button to an API dialog? Is there a way to add a button onto the dialog and tap into the dialog's events from the calling program? If not, can anybody point me to some VB code which simulates the dialog?
