Re^2: Printing Image within Gtk-Perl Application

I am not a Win32::API expert, but I think I can help interpret that (in case someone else is reluctant to try, based on your historical reluctance to try):

`my $shellopen = new Win32::API( "shell32", "ShellExecute", ['N', 'P', 'P', 'P', 'P', 'I'], 'N' );` [download]	This uses the IMPORTING A FUNCTION BY PROTOTYPE feature of Win32::API to set up a wrapper for the Windows API function `ShellExecute()` from the `shell32.dll`
`$shellopen->Call(0, "print", $pdf, 0, 0, 0);`	This calls the "print" verb defined in the Windows registry. This is the same as right-clicking on the file and selecting `Print` from the context menu in Windows Explorer.

Thanks for the explanation and supporting references. I barely know that there is such a thing as "Windows API". At least now, I can tell that this code does exactly what I want and nothing else. Bill	[reply]
