Hi, How can I print the icon? DrawIcon()doesn't work with printer dc... Regards Neha

THis is the way I do it:

// now render the icon
int xSize = (pDC->GetDeviceCaps(LOGPIXELSX) \* 16) / 96;			// a screen display gives us 96dpi, scale the same for device(s)
int ySize = (pDC->GetDeviceCaps(LOGPIXELSY) \* 16) / 96;
::DrawIconEx(pDC->m\_hDC, x - (xSize / 2), y - (ySize / 2), m\_pTemplate->GetIcon(), xSize, ySize, 0, NULL, DI\_IMAGE | DI\_MASK);

This will scale correctly for a preview and a print. although I have seen problems on some printers etc which do not use the mask correctly :( Roger Allen - Sonork 100.10016 Strong Sad: Clever I am?
