Setting the MaxPage property of the PrintDialog component

Question:

When I set the MaxPage property of the PrintDialog component, the VCL always adds one to the number of pages shown in the dialog, and after execution, the Max page property does not change. Is this a bug?

Answer:

The VCL simply wraps the Windows common print dialog. You should
fill in all the fields before executing the dialog, and after
execution. Check the PrintDialog's FromPage and ToPage properties for
the pages to print.

Example:

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
  PrintDialog1.Options := [poPageNums];
  PrintDialog1.PrintRange := prPageNums;
  PrintDialog1.MinPage := 1;
  PrintDialog1.MaxPage := 5;
  PrintDialog1.FromPage := 1;
  PrintDialog1.ToPage := 5;
  if PrintDialog1.Execute then begin
    ShowMessage(IntToStr(PrintDialog1.FromPage));
    SdhowMessage(IntToStr(PrintDialog1.ToPage));
  end;
end;
