HELP!!!! Print Dialog Big Problem

I am having a difficult time learning how to print the info out that need. Can any find it in there heart to help out struggling beginner programmer like myself. I have a dialog box(below) which I want printed. I struggled with this for three days and I can't figure it out. If someone is nice enough can they either write the code for me or explain in detail how to do it. Also can you referr to my variable names show I can understand more clearly.
Thank you so much for the help I that I need so much.

You can use UpdateData to force the latest data to be retrieved (it won't be unless they press OK by default).

Now to printing...

In a Doc/View application MFC does most of the work for you. Unfortunately in a dialog based application, you need to write code to initialize the printer, etc.

When printing you "draw" to the printer using an HDC (which is encapsulated in the MFC class CDC)

Here is a sample, I've sorta adapted for your app

void CServiceDialog::OnPrintButton()
{
CDC dc;
CPrintDialog printDlg(FALSE);

//---> you can setup members of printDlg here to allow
// printing of a selection, or to allow only the "all pages"
// option, m_pd member of printDlg contains most of the
// options, m_pd.Flags is the main one you're probably
// interested in

if (printDlg.DoModal() == IDCANCEL) // Get printer settings from user
return;

dc.Attach(printDlg.GetPrinterDC()); // Attach a printer DC
dc.m_bPrinting = TRUE;

CString strTitle; // Get the application title
//---> change this if you want to print under a differnt
// title, this is used for the print job name.
strTitle.LoadString(AFX_IDS_APP_TITLE);

DOCINFO di; // Initialise print document details
::ZeroMemory (&di, sizeof (DOCINFO));
di.cbSize = sizeof (DOCINFO);
di.lpszDocName = strTitle;

BOOL bPrintingOK = dc.StartDoc(&di); // Begin a new print job

// Get the printing extents and store in the m_rectDraw field of a
// CPrintInfo object
CPrintInfo Info;
Info.m_rectDraw.SetRect(0,0,
dc.GetDeviceCaps(HORZRES),
dc.GetDeviceCaps(VERTRES));

OnBeginPrinting(&dc, &Info); // Call your "Init printing" funtion
for (UINT page = Info.GetMinPage();
page <= Info.GetMaxPage() && bPrintingOK;
page++)
{
dc.StartPage(); // begin new page
Info.m_nCurPage = page;

//---> add your code to "draw" here
// you may prefer to put it in another function and call that
// for example,
dc.TextOut( 0, 0, "Hello world" ) ;
// will "draw" this phrase at the top left of the page

bPrintingOK = (dc.EndPage() > 0); // end page
}
OnEndPrinting(&dc, &Info); // Call your "Clean up" funtion

if (bPrintingOK)
dc.EndDoc(); // end a print job
else
dc.AbortDoc(); // abort job.

dc.Detach(); // detach the printer DC
}

trestan, no offence, but he needs to create the printer DC, OnPrint is only called for Doc/View applications.

trestan

You are right. I ignored that.

I am getting 2 errors when I but in the code.
1. the OnBeginPrinting is not declared
2. the OnEnd Printing is not declared

can you tell me what to do and what to place in the functions if I have to make them.
I am a beginner at this and I need help.
