Startup Method

bool Startup( 
   string virtualPrinterName,
   byte[] initialData
)

bool Startup( 
   string virtualPrinterName,
   byte[] initialData
)

function Leadtools.Printer.Client.IVirtualPrinterClient.Startup( 
   virtualPrinterName ,
   initialData 
)

   String^ virtualPrinterName,
   array<byte>^ initialData
)

'Declaration
 
Function Startup( _
   ByVal virtualPrinterName As String, _
   ByVal initialData() As Byte _
) As Boolean

'Usage
 
Dim instance As IVirtualPrinterClient
Dim virtualPrinterName As String
Dim initialData() As Byte
Dim value As Boolean
 
value = instance.Startup(virtualPrinterName, initialData)

Parameters

virtualPrinterName: A System.String that represents the printer name.
initialData: Initialization data set by the server machine.

Return Value

returning false from this function will cause the cancellation of the print job.

This Callback function will be called by the Network Virtual Printer Driver with the printer name and the initialization data set by Leadtools.Printer.Printer.SetNetworkInitialData(System.Byte[]).
