Printing In MFC Application

Question

How can I print a document using MFC Dialog Based Application? I have made a print button. After clicking on this button, I want print of some document or some text.

What does your MFC book say to do next? What have you tried? — Cody Gray - on strike, Jan 24 '12 at 06:47

Which document? Specific on every click or the user needs to browse first? — Sunscreen, Jan 24 '12 at 09:11
No need to browse. File path will be hardcoded. Or if it is possible to browse, then also OK. I just want to print a text Document. — DTdev, Jan 24 '12 at 11:34

You can create an invisble CHtmlEditCtrl control and load your text to it with SetDocumentHTML(LPCTSTR) method and then call PrintDocument() method.

void WaitForComplete(IHTMLDocument2* document)
{
    BSTR ready;
    document->get_readyState(&ready);
    while(wcscmp(ready, L"complete"))
    {
        AfxPumpMessage();
        document->get_readyState(&ready);
    };
}

void CPrintInMFCDialogBasedAppDlg::OnBnClickedPrint()
{
    CHtmlEditCtrl PrintCtrl;
    if(!PrintCtrl.Create(NULL, WS_CHILD, CRect(0, 0, 0, 0), this, 1))
    {
        ASSERT(FALSE);
        return; // Error!
    }
    CComPtr<IHTMLDocument2> document;
    PrintCtrl.GetDocument(&document);
    WaitForComplete(document);
    PrintCtrl.SetDocumentHTML(_T("Hello!<BR>It is <B>my first</B> print!"));
    WaitForComplete(document);
    PrintCtrl.PrintDocument();
}

can u give some example or link where i can find this? – DTdev Jan 31 '12 at 07:36 — DTdev, Jan 31 '12 at 07:36
