Creating Property Sheet Pages
Important
The modern print platform is Windows' preferred means of communicating with printers. We recommend that you use Microsoft's IPP inbox class driver, along with Print Support Apps (PSA), to customize the print experience in Windows 10 and 11 for printer device development.
For more information, see Modern print platform and the Print support app design guide.
Property sheet pages created using CPSUI are made up of property sheet options, where each option represents a user-modifiable value. Dialogs for property sheet options are created using a set of CPSUI-supported window controls that let a user modify an option's value.
CPSUI-supplied window controls can be displayed within CPSUI-supplied pages and templates, or they can be used with customized pages. There are several methods for specifying pages, all of which involve calling CPSUI's ComPropSheet function.
Creating property sheet pages for printers and print documents involves using CPSUI with printer drivers and requires interaction between an application, the print spooler, a printer interface DLL, and CPSUI.
