EvaluationMode Property

Description

Gets and sets the type of evaluation operation for the component.

Property Type

Read-write property

Syntax

Visual Basic
Public Property EvaluationMode As PP_EvaluationMode

Return Type

A PP_EvaluationMode enumeration value which determines the type of evaluation operation.

Remarks

In order to test the component in an application running as a service or other environments where the component does not have permissions to create a window, the application logic needs to set the EvaluationMode to Timeout. In this mode, the component does not attempt to create the Evaluation Mode dialog window, but will timeout after 5 minutes of operation and cease to operate.

When running your project with the PrintPRO component in PP_EvaluationMode_Timeout mode under the Visual Basic 6 IDE, the component will still display the evaluation dialog. However, setting the EvaluationMode property to PP_EvaluationMode_Timeout will allow your Visual Basic 6 compiled executable to properly timeout after 5 minutes of execution and not display the evaluation dialog.

Purchase and register a license to run in regular (not evaluation) mode.
