Print a long CString

Gagnon Claude

Hi, I have a C++ program with MFC. I utilize the OnPrint() mechanism to print a Cstring line by line with pDC->TextOut(). That is working the first time I print. If I repeat the print job, the page is blank. I don't understand why. Here is a portion of OnPrint(): CString resToken; I print the Cstring one line at a time. pDC->(TextOut(pt.x, pt.y + j * m_nHautLigne, resToken); Does it have a better way to do the printing? Why the page is blank the second time? Do I have to reset something? Thanks,

From things you've said, I think you're talking about printing on paper instead of a screen. There is indeed a process to follow when doing so, it involves telling the print sub-system that you've printed a page and wish to print another in the same print-job. If indeed producing a hard-copy output is your aim, you may find the following of some use: Answer --> I want to print an image from a class library project without any gui.[^] You can and should enumerate the available printers in your system and allow the user to choose from them. In this example, I've simply used the printer's name, as seen in Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Devices and Printers in Win7.

That does not really tell us anything useful. You need to show where in your code you check for end of page, and exactly what index values you start with on the second page.
