Enumerate Windows Paper Sizes

Question

I can get the current Locale paper size using

GetLocaleStr(LCID,LOCALE_IPAPERSIZE,IntToStr(DMPAPER_A4))

where LOCALE_IPAPERSIZE = $100A

but is there a way to enumerate all paper sizes with their names?

There's no enumerator, see Paper Sizes on MSDN for a full list.

You can find out paper sizes that a particular installed printer supports, but that wouldn't possibly include all.

Stephen Friedl has done research on this subject.

This, however, enumerates *forms* for a *specific printer*. – Sertac Akyuz Jul 13 '11 at 18:05
@Sertac Akyuz, not really, visit the second link :) – Premature Optimization Jul 13 '11 at 20:37
Query the local print server.., good one! If association of paper size type constants (DMPAPER_..) and names in current locale is not required, I think this is the better answer. – Sertac Akyuz Jul 13 '11 at 22:23
@Sertac Akyuz, it is not possible to retrieve **constants** because spooler itself is not only forms' source (hence WinNLS does not know at compile time), but rather localized display names directly (if any, `FORM_INFO_2.StringType <> STRING_NONE`). – Premature Optimization Jul 13 '11 at 22:38
