Printing with a CString

[Gagnon Claude]

Hi, I print a CString with pDC->TextOut(). That is working. But if I print again, the sheet is blank. How to correct that? Do I have to utilize GetBuffer(), etc? Thanks, Claude

Just a guess, could you be overwriting the first print? Do you have a new line character (or carraige return and line feed) at the end?

Print what, where ... ? Please provide some proper context and detail about what your program is doing. [edit] Have you checked http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/yzabsdzx.aspx[^]? [/edit]

Hi, Your not really 'printing' but rather painting text using GDI if your utilizing the TextOut function[^]. Sounds like the wm_erasebkgnd handler (or conversely WM_PAINT if you are painting in the erase handler)is overwriting what you painted. You should share some code.
