Oh sorry I used to work with the VCL. It would be great if you could send me
a code snippet how to open the dialog.

My code snippet is not working.   Thanks for your help

    LPPAGESETUPDLG pageSetup;
    bool result = PageSetupDlg(pageSetup);
    if (result) {
        MessageDlg("Ok", mtInformation, TMsgDlgButtons() << mbOK, 0);
    } else {
        MessageDlg("Error", mtError, TMsgDlgButtons() << mbOK, 0);
    }

    PRINTDLG printerSetup;
    result = PrintDlg(&printerSetup);
    if (result) {
        MessageDlg("Ok", mtInformation, TMsgDlgButtons() << mbOK, 0);
    } else {
        MessageDlg("Error", mtError, TMsgDlgButtons() << mbOK, 0);
    }
