The simple answer is, if you are using the XPRINT statement, you are
limited
to the options offered by that statement.
For XPRINT ATTACH CHOOSE with a named printer as the default, I posted
code
to do this at
http://www.powerbasic.com/sup****t/forums/Forum7/HTML/002446.html
Or, you could tem****arily set the system default printer to the desired
printer, use XPRINT ATTACH CHOOSE, then set the default back. You can use
SetDefaultPrinter (Windows 2000+ ) to do so; see your WinAPI reference for
details.
As far as making the dialog 'truly' modal, I "believe" the common dialog
on which I based th above code is such. If not, you could simulate
'modality' by disabling your program's main window before calling either
XPRINT ATTACH CHOOSE or the code referenced above.
