Source position: printers.pas line 274

protected procedure TPrinter.DoEnumPrinters(

  Lst: TStrings

); virtual;

Arguments

Lst

  

TStrings instance where names for defined printers are stored.

Description

DoEnumPrinters is a virtual procedure used to performs actions needed to populate the list in Lst with the printers available in the class instance. DoEnumPrinters has an empty implementation in TPrinter. It must be overridden in a descendent class to perform the actions required for the implementation.

Remark: The method must ensure that the first printer (stored at position 0) in Lst is the "default" printer for the operating system / widgetset / printer-related technology.

DoEnumPrinters is called from the GetPrinters method, and passes the member for the Printers property as the list storage for the method.
