GetForm info Overview Group

The GetForm function initializes a FORM_INFO_1 structure with data describing the specified form for a printer.

BOOL GetForm(

HANDLE hPrinter,	// handle of printer
LPTSTR pFormName,	// address of form name
DWORD Level,	// structure level
LPBYTE pForm,	// address of structure array
DWORD cbBuf,	// count of bytes in array
LPDWORD pcbNeeded	// addr. of variable with count of bytes retrieved (or required)
);

Parameters

hPrinter: Identifies the printer.
pFormName: Points to a null-terminated string that specifies the name of the form.
Level: Specifies the version of the structure to which pForm points. This value must be 1.
pForm: Points to an array of bytes that receives the initialized FORM_INFO_1 structure.
cbBuf: Specifies the size, in bytes, of the pForm array.
pcbNeeded: Points to a value that specifies the number of bytes copied if the function succeeds or the number of bytes required if cbBuf is too small.

If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.

If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

The printer handle hPrinter is obtained by calling the OpenPrinter function.
