Property Sheet Options

Important

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 the Print support app design guide.

A property sheet option is a displayable, selectable item on a property sheet page. Typically, users can modify an option's value. CPSUI helps applications create options in a standard format, using a predefined set of CPSUI-supported window controls. Applications do not have to provide resources for these controls.

Each property sheet page typically contains several options. For each property sheet option, a CPSUI application must use the following CPSUI structures:

• One OPTITEM structure, which identifies the option's display name and other characteristics.

• One OPTTYPE structure, which identifies the option's display dialog type (CPSUI option type).

• One or more OPTPARAM structures, which identify the option's user-selectable parameter values.

To use these CPSUI structures to describe property sheet options, the page containing the option must be defined using a COMPROPSHEETUI structure.
