# VAPIMWP_PRINT_PRINT

Prints the current document by calling the common Print dialog box. This is a parameter of the `VAPIM_PRINT` message.

## Syntax

    #include <kvvapi.h>
    SendMessage(hWndVAPI, VAPIM_PRINT, VAPIMWP_PRINT_PRINT, 0L );

## Arguments

Argument | Description
--- | ---
`hWndVAPI` | The handle of the VAPI window.

## Returns

`SendMessage()` returns `TRUE` if the call succeeds; otherwise it returns `FALSE`.

## Discussion

- This message prints the current document by calling the common Print dialog box to set the printer parameters. You can use this message to implement a Print menu item or toolbar button.

- When printing in an application that is a Windows service, a default printer must be installed for the user account using the application.

- To make sure that the entire document is opened before the document is printed, open the document with the `bWait` member in the TPVAPIOpenDocumentInfo structure set to `TRUE`. Use the VAPIMWP_PRINT_CANPRINT message to determine whether the document has been completely processed and is ready to be printed.
