SysTabControl32

I need to be able to select a printer from the list of installed printers that appear in a 'systabcontrol32' control on the 'Print' dialog in a windows-XP program. I have used the GetControl with and without the 'text' option. But all that the macro sees is text name of the control and the class, never the values within the systabcontrol32 itself.

 

How can I accomplish this?

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Well this is an ugly way (I'm new to ME) but it works:

Activate Window: "notepad"
Text Type: <ALT>fp
Activate Window: "Print"
Text Type: <ALT>d
Text Type: Adobe PDF
Text Type: <ENTER>
Text Type: <ALT>p

 

I suppose you could design an ME menu with all the printer names in your system and select the one that you want and have that input into the "Connect to Printer":Printer dialog box.
