Using PrintCtrl() in LabWindows/CVI, how do I set the "Print to File" Attribute?

[billw4]

I'm using PrintCtrl() to print a table control in LabWindows/CVI. By default, the option for 'Print to File' is checked. Can I change this to NOT be checked in my code? I couldn't find the attribute listed in the function panel for SetPrintAttribute().

That option is enabled by default if and only if you pass a non-empty string as the fileName parameter to the PrintCtrl function. If you don't want it to be checked, just pass NULL.

Hi,

I did some testing here and I think if you pass 0 or NULL to the file path input the "print to file" option is not selected. I have this behaviour here using CVI 7.0 and CVI 6.0.

Please give this a try and let me know how this goes!

Juan Carlos,

You are right. My problem was that I thought I was supposed to pass the .uir file name as the file parameter in PrintCtrl(). (which was not the parameter's intended use.) But now I put NULL and it works fine. Thank you for your help.
