PrinterLogging Property

In This Topic

Gets or sets whether data received into display memory, either from datacomm or from the keyboard, is sent to the printer (or to a file) when a linefeed is received.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)

expression.PrinterLogging As Boolean

where expression is a variable that represents a Printing Object

Property Value

The default value is False.

Remarks

The value of this property is not saved to a settings file.

In Reflection for HP, turning on Record Mode automatically sets PrinterLogging to False.

To log to a file instead of the printer, do the following:

Make sure PrinterLogging is set to True.
Set the PrintToFile property to a valid file name.

Reflection doesn't log a line of data until it encounters a linefeed.

Example

This example logs commands and data entered and received and saves it in a text file when logging is stopped. To run this sample, copy the code to the ThisTerminal code window.

Visual Basic

Private Sub Terminal_Connected(ByVal sender As Variant, ByVal ConnectionID As Long, ByVal connnectionType As Attachmate_Reflection_Objects_Emulation_OpenSystems.ConnectionTypeOption, ByVal connectionSettings As Variant)
 
    'Start capturing text to a file:
    ThisScreen.ScreenPrinting.PrinterLogging = True
    ThisScreen.ScreenPrinting.PrintToFile = Environ$("USERPROFILE") & "\Documents" & "\test.txt"
    ThisTerminal.StartLogging
    
End Sub
 
Private Sub Terminal_Disconnected(ByVal sender As Variant, ByVal ConnectionID As Long, ByVal connnectionType As Attachmate_Reflection_Objects_Emulation_OpenSystems.ConnectionTypeOption, ByVal connectionSettings As Variant)
    
    'Stop capturing text to a file:
    ThisScreen.ScreenPrinting.PrinterLogging = False
    ThisTerminal.StopLogging
    
End Sub
