Overview of printui structure
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
Client usage:
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
The print user interface is a separate library that can be linked
|
|
into either shell32.dll or printui.exe for independent and quick
|
|
testing.
|
|
|
|
To use this library, the user simply loads the dll. In
|
|
DllEntryPoint routine, the library is intializes itself.
|
|
|
|
To create a print queue window, the client calls:
|
|
|
|
VOID
|
|
vQueueCreate(
|
|
LPCTSTR pszPrinter,
|
|
INT nCmdShow
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
Note that this all does not fail: it occurs asynchronously. If base
|
|
initialization fails, then a message box is put up immediately with
|
|
an error.
|
|
|
|
If the printer fails to open for whatever reason (such as unknown
|
|
printer), then the window is left open and shows an error message
|
|
in both the title and status bar.
|
|
|
|
Note: this is the only public interface to creating a queue.
|
|
|
|
Programming goals:
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
There goals in order of priority are:
|
|
|
|
1. Correctness (no bugs, robust)
|
|
2. Maintainability (clean architecture, readable, extensible)
|
|
3. Portable (should run on win9x)
|
|
4. Responsive (UI should never hang)
|
|
5. Small working set
|
|
6. Fast
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Naming conventions:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
As a general rule, hungarian notation is used. Also, the nouns
|
|
a placed before the verbs (PrinterCreate rather than CreatePrinter).
|
|
|
|
Class names are prefixed with the following characters:
|
|
|
|
Type Inheritance
|
|
---- -----------
|
|
V - Virtual 0 or 1 (Types|Virtual), 0 or more Mix-ins.
|
|
T - Type 0 or 1 (Types|Virtual), 0 or more Mix-ins.
|
|
M - Mix-in 0 or more Mix-ins.
|
|
|
|
Multiple inheritance is allowed, but this structure prevents
|
|
cycles from appearing.
|
|
|
|
Macros:
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
ALWAYS_VALID - indicates the object is always valid, and creates
|
|
an inline bValid( VOID ) function that returns TRUE.
|
|
|
|
SIGNATURE( '1234' ) - Places a signature in an object. The bytes
|
|
are reversed so that a dc displays the name correctly. Also
|
|
creates an inline function bSigCheck() that ensures the object
|
|
matches the signature.
|
|
|
|
VAR( Type, name ); - Creates the field variable (prefixed by '_')
|
|
and 'get' function (Type name();) that retrieves the variable.
|
|
|
|
DLINK_BASE( Type, name, linkname ); - Creates the head base pointer
|
|
for double-linked list.
|
|
|
|
DLINK( Type, name ); - Creates a dlink entry and inline functions
|
|
to manipulate the link (functions prefixed with "name_.")
|
|
|
|
REF_LOCK( Type, name ); - Create a reference lock that acquires
|
|
and releases a VRef object. The reference count is appropriately
|
|
incremented and decremented.
|
|
|
|
( Debug macros )
|
|
|
|
SINGLETHREAD( dwThreadId ); - The first time this is called,
|
|
initializes dwThreadId to the current thread. Subsequent
|
|
calls assert that the current thread is the same as dwThreadId
|
|
(this first one).
|
|
|
|
Library intialization:
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
When the dll is loaded, the window classes are registered and the
|
|
libraries are initialized.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Queue Creation:
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
When the user calls vQueueCreate the following occurs:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Internal structure notes:
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
There are three main classes:
|
|
|
|
TQueue: The highest level queue object
|
|
This maintains the listview and user interface elements.
|
|
It maintains a reference to a TPrinter.
|
|
|
|
TPrinter: Single interface to printer objects
|
|
This handles retrieving printer data and sending
|
|
asynchronous printer commands.
|
|
|
|
VData: Abstracts client notifications and information retrieval.
|
|
There are two types of notifications: notification that
|
|
something changed, and actual data. This class presents
|
|
a uniform interface to TPrinter, and holds all job information.
|
|
|
|
Given that virtually everything executes asynchronously, (including
|
|
commands), destruction of queues must be handled carefully:
|
|
|
|
TPrintLib: This is referenced counted, and once all print queues
|
|
have been destroyed, this object deletes itself.
|
|
|
|
Each queue holds a ref count. When all queues are destroyed,
|
|
the ref count reaches zero and vRefZeroed() is called.
|
|
At this point we tell TThreadM to start shutting down by
|
|
calling TThreadM::vDelete.
|
|
|
|
TQueue: Since this is tied to the user interface, it only lives
|
|
while the UI window is open, or there it is processing
|
|
a notification (there is a refcount).
|
|
|
|
It notifies the its TPrinter that the UI is going away, so
|
|
that the TPrinter does not notify the queue.
|
|
|
|
TPrinter: This receives it's notification to delete via vDelete().
|
|
It disassociates itself from the TQueue then queues itself
|
|
with commands to close then delete.
|
|
|
|
After all other commands are processed, it deletes the TData
|
|
object.
|
|
|
|
VData: This is simply a data repository, so it does not require
|
|
any special shutdown code.
|
|
|
|
The following classes are used by the print folder to retrieve info
|
|
about printers on a server.
|
|
|
|
TFolder: Analagous to TQueue for print queues. It will have
|
|
either (1 TConnectionNotify, 1 TDSServer, 0+ TDSConnection)
|
|
or (1 TDSServer). The former case represents the local
|
|
print folder where we must watch local printers + connections +
|
|
check if any connections are added or deleted. The latter
|
|
represents a remote printer folder (we don't need to
|
|
watch connections).
|
|
|
|
VDataSource: A single source of printers.
|
|
|
|
TDSConnection: derived from VDataSource. Represents a single
|
|
printer connection (always enumerates and returns one printer.)
|
|
|
|
TDSServer: derived from VDataSource. Represents a server, which
|
|
may have multiple printers.
|
|
|
|
TConnectionNotify: Watches the registry to see if printer
|
|
connections are added or removed.
|
|
|
|
Printer States:
|
|
|
|
The printer state is represented with a by a DWORD--the top
|
|
three bits. Each action can modify the bits to transition to
|
|
a new state.
|
|
|
|
EXEC_AWAKE
|
|
|
|
Print queue was restored (from iconized state), so
|
|
notifications should start up again.
|
|
|
|
EXEC_SLEEP
|
|
|
|
Print queue minimized; shut down notifications.
|
|
?? Even in the minimized state, it should show whether
|
|
the printer is paused. But if notifications are shut
|
|
down, how will it update this? We could reduce notification
|
|
level just to status, which would cut down on traffic but
|
|
still give us Paused informations.
|
|
|
|
EXEC_ERROR
|
|
|
|
An error occurred such that the TPrinter should not be
|
|
re-opened until the user explicitly hits refresh. This
|
|
occurs when the printer name is invalid, or access is
|
|
denied.
|
|
|
|
EXEC_REOPEN
|
|
|
|
Open printer with maximal access.
|
|
|
|
From states:
|
|
ALL
|
|
|
|
EXEC_DELAY
|
|
|
|
GetLastError() must be valid!
|
|
|
|
Sleep for a while when there's an error. It will decrement
|
|
_uFailCount in case it wants to retry a second time before
|
|
giving up.
|
|
|
|
This will also create an event in case the user tries to
|
|
refresh while it's sleeping.
|
|
|
|
From states:
|
|
ALL
|
|
|
|
EXEC_CLOSE
|
|
|
|
Closes printer object.
|
|
|
|
From states:
|
|
ALL
|
|
|
|
EXEC_REQUESTEXT
|
|
|
|
Request that the printer shut down.
|
|
|
|
From states:
|
|
ALL
|
|
|
|
EXEC_NOTIFYSTART
|
|
|
|
Begin the notification process--calls VData.svNotifyStart.
|
|
|
|
From states:
|
|
NOTIFYEND, EXEC_REOPEN (printer must be valid)
|
|
|
|
EXEC_NOTIFYEND
|
|
|
|
Ends the notification--calls VData.svNotifyEnd. When the
|
|
user minimizes the printer, we will close the notification
|
|
so that we won't eat network bandwidth when no one's looking.
|
|
|
|
From states:
|
|
NOTIFYSTART, REFRESH, COMMAND
|
|
|
|
EXEC_REFRESH
|
|
|
|
Refresh the object.
|
|
|
|
From states:
|
|
COMMAND, NOTIFYSTART
|
|
|
|
EXEC_REFRESH_PRINTER
|
|
EXEC_REFRESH_JOBS
|
|
|
|
Extra state bits used for TDataRefresh only.
|
|
|
|
EXEC_COMMAND
|
|
|
|
Execute a command.
|
|
|
|
From states:
|
|
|
|
Columns vs. Indicies
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
A column is the UI ListView column, while an index is an index
|
|
into the TData information.
|
|
|
|
Column: Index:
|
|
|
|
DOCUMENT DOCUMENT
|
|
STATUS_STRING STATUS_STRING
|
|
USER_NAME USER_NAME
|
|
STATUS <- specific to Index only.
|
|
|
|
Sequence of notifications
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
The data notifications are abstracted into the VData object.
|
|
|
|
Full refresh
|
|
In the downlevel case, no information is sent back with
|
|
a notification, so the entire queue must be refreshed.
|
|
|
|
Partial refresh
|
|
For uplevel, data is sent back, and single jobs are changed.
|
|
|
|
The following describes how a notification is processed. There
|
|
are two main issues that result this complex system: first,
|
|
the data must be processed in the UI thread so that we don't
|
|
deal with dangling data. Second, we want to keep the TPrinter,
|
|
TQueue, TData and TData* classes as separate as possible.
|
|
|
|
1. Notification system signals event, indicating something
|
|
changed and we must be updated.
|
|
|
|
2. Notify thread (there is a single thread for all printers
|
|
(unless there are > 63 queues, in which case multiple
|
|
threads are used)) picks up the changed event and
|
|
MNotifyWork::vProcessNotifyWork is called. This must
|
|
process the request very quickly, since other printers
|
|
use this thread too.
|
|
|
|
a. For TDataRefresh, this routine adds a refresh job
|
|
that will be executed in a separate thread.
|
|
|
|
b. For TDataNotify, FindNextPrinterChangeNotification
|
|
is called to retrieve the update. Since FFPCN does
|
|
not hit the network, it executes quickly.
|
|
|
|
3. If there is data available from the notification, the
|
|
thread calls Printer.vRequestBlockProcess which cals
|
|
the Queue object with the request. The data block is
|
|
totally encapsulated in the hBlock.
|
|
|
|
4. The Queue object posts a message to the queue, allows the
|
|
message to be processed synchronously in the UI thread.
|
|
All data is accessed from the UI thread. The message
|
|
indicates whether state (which jobs are selected, which
|
|
has focus) should be saved.
|
|
|
|
5. When the message is received by the UI thread, it is
|
|
sent to TQueue.
|
|
|
|
a. If the state must be preserved the JobIds are saved.
|
|
|
|
b. The TData* is sent the Block which must be
|
|
processed.
|
|
|
|
1. If a job must be modified, it updates the data then
|
|
notifies the Queue that the job must be repainted.
|
|
|
|
2. If a new job has come in, it is added to the data
|
|
structure, then the Queue is notified that a job
|
|
must be inserted into the list view.
|
|
|
|
3. If a job is deleted, the Queue is notified before the
|
|
item is deleted, since the list view may reference
|
|
the job data.
|
|
|
|
c. If necessary, the state is restored (generally done
|
|
if the list view was reconstructed).
|
|
|
|
6. The data block is freed.
|
|
|
|
Singleton class
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
A Sington class is a class which can have only one instance during the life of the
|
|
program, however, it may have multiple referenced to this class. TPrinterDriverSetup is
|
|
singleton class. This class is used to allow acccess to the DriverSetup information.
|
|
The DriverSetup information is expensive to create and does not change during the life of
|
|
the program. The TPrinterDriverSetup::bInstance function is a static function which is used
|
|
by users of this class to obtain a reference to it. bInstance takes one argument the address
|
|
where to return a reference to the singlton class and returns a boolean if a valid instance is
|
|
returned. TPrinterDriverSetup::vDelete() is used to release an instance of the singleton class.
|
|
There should be a matching number of bInstance() and vDelete() calls, to insure proper cleanup
|
|
of the singleton class.
