Okay, I made a program like notepad and I have some of the menu items working (Exit and print to be specfic). But I have a small problem with the printing dialog. It won't pring the document! It only prints a certain word that i place into the DOCINFO programming. So for example: it would print "printer" if I placed that into the text line. (see the code below for the full doc info coding). I know that I would probably have to create a variable for the text area of the program, but I don't know how to do this properly - it gives me errors when I try to use the variable for the edit box that I made.

Anyways, heres the code for the DOCINFO:

DOCINFO di;
di.cbSize = sizeof(DOCINFO);
di.lpszDocName = "Bitmap Printing Text";
di.lpszOutput = (LPTSTR)NULL;
di.fwType = 0;
StartDoc(pd.hDC, &di);
StartPage(pd.hDC);
TextOut(pd.hDC, 20, 20, "Print", lstrlen("Print"));
EndPage(pd.hDC);
EndDoc(pd.hDC);
DeleteDC(pd.hDC);

Line 8 is where the problem is, however I don't know how to fix this so that it prints the entire document. If anyone requires the full sourcecode then please say so.

Thanks,

I think the first Print is causing the trouble...its looking for a string to Print and you put Print in quotes so its now your string. I very well could be wrong though...its been awhile since C++. check it against this as an example.

TextOut(hdc, 1, 1, str, strlen(str));

hopefully someone else can either back this up or give you better advice. good luck
