Hi All,

I have a strange error with xbpprinter:list.
Everything works right with the printing, except:
when the windows spooler service is stopped the
List() method kills my program, no error message,
no logs, just disappears my program.
(error handling MsgBox doesnt get called)

Thanks in advance for any help,
Koadam


     bSaveErrorBlock := ErrorBlock( {|e| Break(e)} )

     BEGIN SEQUENCE
       oPrinter := XbpPrinter():New()
       aPrnList := oPrinter:list()  <- kills the program if spooler is stopped
       oPrinter:Create()
     RECOVER USING oError
       MsgBox("something's very wrong here")
     END SEQUENCE

     ErrorBlock(bSaveErrorBlock)

OK, xbpprinter:list NEEDS the spooler to get the information, without the
spooler it can´t run. But it should noch kill the application, it should
generate an error.
Is there a possibility from within xBase++ to check if a certain service is
running? If so, check if spooler is running befor calling xbprinter:list
