CR10 ActiveX print orientation

Does anyone know how to set the page orientation of the print dialog on the users machine at runtime? Is it possible?
i.e. if you create a CR with landscape layout and the users default print setup is portrait the report will not print correctly.You need to define something called :

crep.PaperOrientation = 2 ; //crDefaultPaperOrientation

Where

crDefaultPaperOrientation= 0
crLandscape= 2
crPortrait = 1

Goto Crystal reports'd developer help and search for PaperOrientation or CRPaperOrientation :

Printer Settings
This application (some demo application) demonstrates how to change the report printer settings at runtime using code.

There are four new report properties that allow you to easily retrieve and set PaperSize, PaperOrientation, PaperSource, and PrinterDuplex for the report printer options. All of these are demonstrated.
There is also a new method called PrinterSetup that provides a Windows standard printer setup window to allow the user to change the printer properties directly at runtime. This is demonstrated as well.
The two methods are independent of each other. For example, changing the Windows standard printer setup will not alter the report printer settings and vice-versa. These new properties and the new method give you much more control over how the report is printed.


Thanks

CR XI Report printing in Landscape instead of Portrait

CR XI Report printing in Landscape instead of Portrait

Even though we specify the orientation of report in Crystal reports XI as Portrait during design time from report designer (i.e. File -> Page Setup), while printing it uses the default printer options i.e. orientation set to Landscape and prints the report in Landscape.

But the same report in Crystal report 7.0, when set to Portrait at design time from report designer, it print as set in the report designer i.e. Portrait and does not take default printer settings.

In Crystal Reports 7.0 have File -> Page Set up and File -> Printer set up options, using which the report orientation can be set, where as in Crystal Report XI has File -> set up options only.

Why is this wierd behaviour using CR XI ? Any idea.

We are using VB 6.0, Could the printer settings be supplied from VB 6.0 programmatically.

I would appreciate if anybody could help in this regard.

Thanks,try this found in crystal report samples.

Thanks
