Sending PrintPage output to WinFax

[Mladen]

Can someone tell me how can I send the page which I want to print directly to another program like WinFax,without printing it?

 

[Robby]

WinFax has its own ActiveX, it is very easy to use. I dont know if they have any .NET libraries yet.

 

[Mladen]

Robby I figured it out.
Jast adding Print dialog and selecting WinFax from the combo with instaled printers solves the problem.
I thought it would be much harder so I asked for help.

Thanks for trying to help

If you were to use the object, it would automate the task.
Just a thought.

Can you tell me how I can "use the winfax" object?

Please ;-)

this is how you use vb.net or vb 6 & winFax

How to send WinFax Pro faxes using VB 6 or VB .NET from a WinFax Pro client to a WinFax Pro Server

Start a project.
Open a form
Reference the winfax.dll in your system 32 directory

In VB 6 use this code:

Dim sendObj As Object
Private Sub Form_Load()
Set sendObj = CreateObject("WinFax.SDKSend8.0")
sendObj.SetCompany ("AAA Energy Co.")
sendObj.SetTo ("john smith")
sendObj.SetSubject ("Test Faxing")
sendObj.SetCoverFile ("C:\DLoad\BASIC1.CVP")
sendObj.SetCoverText ("Test of cover Page")
sendObj.SetUseCover (1)
sendObj.AddAttachmentFile ("c:\DLoad\License.txt")
sendObj.SetNumber ("1112121")
sendObj.AddRecipient
sendObj.Send (0)
sendObj.Done

In VB . Net use this code:
Imports wfxctl32.COleWinFaxAppClass
Imports wfxctl32.CSDKSendClass
Imports wfxctl32.COleAttachmentsClass
Dim sendObj As New wfxctl32.CSDKSend()
sendObj.SetCompany("AAA Energy Co.")
sendObj.SetTo("Brian Hall")
sendObj.SetSubject("Test UDC Faxing")
sendObj.SetCoverFile("C:\DLoad\BASIC1.CVP")
sendObj.SetCoverText("Test of cover Page")
sendObj.SetUseCover(1)
sendObj.AddAttachmentFile("c:\DLoad\License.txt")
sendObj.SetNumber("3271407")
sendObj.AddRecipient()
sendObj.Send(0)
sendObj.Done()

That

I tried the VB .Net example code and it works. One big problem though. The Print dialog appears and you have to click the [Print] button to continue the process. This is a show stopper as Im looking for a "hands-off / totally automated" approach. Any suggestions?

pop up window

I do see a window pop-up but then it goes away. I dont have to touch anything for the fax to go thru. I have the winfax client on my desktop and the winfax server on a 2K server. Not sure why you have to click print.

Dim sendObj As New wfxctl32.CSDKSend()
sendObj.SetCompany("AAA Energy Co.")
sendObj.SetTo("Namel")
sendObj.SetSubject("Test UDC Faxing")
sendObj.AddAttachmentFile("C:\faxdoc \Confirmation.rtf")
sendObj.SetNumber("5556666")
sendObj.AddRecipient()
sendObj.Send(0)
sendObj.Done()
