i am not sure and this is just a suggestion but have you drawn to the pDC elsewhere in your code.if not you need to for there to be any output.you could try adding this to your code somewhere(maybe in the routine you displayed) :

pDC.DrawText(0,0,"put your text here",18) /*where 18 is put the number of characters in your string*/

Once again i may be totally off target.  I just wanted to establish wether or not you had yet painted to the pDC

Thank you

oh sorry i totally messed up.  I just realized you were printing from a textbox. sorry about that. Disregard everything i said. :)

Does it change anything if you use the
     PRF_CLIENT  
flag?

Dan,

PRF_CLIENT also just prints a blank page.

Is this a multi-line RichEdit control?  

Do you want to print all of the text (including text that is off to the right and or down below the bottom), or just the text that that is visible on screen?

-- Dan

 

by: binstarPosted on 2003-01-28 at 15:12:04ID: 7833620

Yes. I load the file into the control, that is okay, then I will add to the file, then I need to print the file.  

 

by: DanRollinsPosted on 2003-01-28 at 17:24:51ID: 7834307

So, you will be printing text that is not visible on the screen without scrolling?
-- Dan

 

by: binstarPosted on 2003-01-29 at 05:37:09ID: 7837397

The file is loaded into the control, so it is visible, and I will have to scroll too.

 

by: DanRollinsPosted on 2003-01-29 at 11:42:22ID: 7840394

OK, here it is:  The CRichEditCtrl has no native printing capability.   You could dump an image of what is seen on screen, but that will not print the entire contents of the text.  However, MFC provide a class named CRichEditView that does all of the work, including pagination, headers, footers, etc.

So, if you could derive from CRichEditView you could insert the derived object in you dialogbox box.  Then all CView-specific commands, including the printing-support members, would be availaable.  

There are a few tricks you need to know in order to put a CView-derived object into a dialog.  The tricks are described here:

    http://www.experts-exchange.com/Programming/Programming_Languages/MFC/Q_20074175.html

Printing can be a complicated thing.  If you are just starting to learn about it, I highly recommend that you experiment by making a new 'testing-only' MFC AppWizard SDI app which used CEditView as the main view (set this in the last page of the AppWizard).  Play around with it, and get to know the details such as how to set the headers, and learn the page-by-page nature, and how all about print-preview, etc.  Once you have the concepts down, Try inserting a customized CRichEditView into a simple Dialog-based app (using the info from that link above).  Once you are comfortable with all of this, you should be able to transfer that knowledge to your current app.
