TPrinter.EndDoc Method

Ends the current print job and closes the text file variable.

Pascal

procedure EndDoc;

C++

__fastcall EndDoc();

Description

EndDoc terminates the print job (and closes the currently open Text). The print job will begin printing on the printer after a call to EndDoc.

After the application calls EndDoc, the printer begins printing. Use EndDoc after successfully sending a print job to the printer. If the print job isn't successful, use the Abort method.

C++ Examples:

{
This example uses a button, a Page Control, and a Print 
dialog box on a form. When the user clicks the button, the 
print dialog is displayed.  The user can select any subset 
of the pages in the page control for printing.  The selected
pages are then printed.  To run this example successfully, 
you must add the Printers unit to the uses clause of your 
unit.  Right click on the PageControl to add at least one 
page to the PageControl.
