StartDoc fails in VC++ Applications

[Riccardone]

This vc++ code try to save rtf file in PDF.
I'm using my personal editor (CWritexTB) and before printing StatDoc of this editor always fails.

void CDlgGestDoc::OnSavepdf()
{
if ( !m_pCurrentDoc )
return;

CString csFile = m_pCurrentDoc->GetPath();
CString csNomeFilePdf = csFile.Left(csFile.ReverseFind('.'))+ ".pdf";

BROWSEINFO bi; ::ZeroMemory(&bi,sizeof(bi));
bi.ulFlags=BIF_RETURNONLYFSDIRS;
bi.lpszTitle = "Selezionare la cartella dove salvare il file pdf";
LPCITEMIDLIST lpcidLista = SHBrowseForFolder(&bi);

CString csTmp;
if ( lpcidLista )
{
SHGetPathFromIDList(lpcidLista, csTmp.GetBuffer(_MAX_PATH));
csTmp.ReleaseBuffer();

if ( csTmp.IsEmpty() )
{
MSG_INF("Nessuna cartella selezionata, file non salvato");
return;
}

m_hPDF.Create("", WS_CHILD, CRect(0,0,0,0), this, 10000001);
m_hPDF.DriverInit("Amyuni Document Converter");
m_hPDF.EnablePrinter("company", "code");

VERIFY(m_hPDF.SetDefaultPrinter());

m_hPDF.SetFileNameOptions(3 + 0x20);
m_hPDF.SetDefaultFileName(csTmp+csNomeFilePdf);
m_hPDF.CaptureEvents(TRUE);

CWritexTB hWx;
hWx.Create("",WS_CHILD,CRect(0,0,0,0),this,10000002);
hWx.CloseFile();
hWx.OpenFile(GetTemplateFilePath()+csFile);

LPDEVNAMES hDevNames;
LPDEVMODE hDevMode;
TCHAR sz[256]; strcpy(sz,"Amyuni Document Converter");
GetPrinterDevice(sz,(HGLOBAL*)&hDevNames,(HGLOBAL*)&hDevMode);
hWx.ChangeSystemPrinter((long)::GlobalLock(hDevNames),(short)::GlobalSize(hDevNames),(long)::GlobalLock(hDevMode),(short)::GlobalSize(hDevMode));

hWx.PrintDirect();
hWx.DestroyWindow();

VERIFY(m_hPDF.RestoreDefaultPrinter());
m_hPDF.DriverEnd();
m_hPDF.DestroyWindow();
}
}


What I have to do?
This is the right way?

Thanks

Hello,

Please add a call to EnablePrinter() right before printing.

Hope this helps.

Hallo Joan!
I try to apply one more EnablePrinter to my code...

{
.
.
.
// Init my pdf printer
m_hPDF.Create("", WS_CHILD, CRect(0,0,0,0), this, 10000001);
m_hPDF.DriverInit("Amyuni Document Converter");
m_hPDF.EnablePrinter("company", "activation");
VERIFY(m_hPDF.SetDefaultPrinter());

m_hPDF.SetFileNameOptions(3 + 0x20);
m_hPDF.SetDefaultFileName(csTmp+csNomeFilePdf);
m_hPDF.CaptureEvents(TRUE);

// Create my editor
CWritexTB hWx;
hWx.Create("",WS_CHILD,CRect(0,0,0,0),this,10000002);
hWx.CloseFile();
hWx.OpenFile(GetTemplateFilePath()+csFile);

HGLOBAL hDN = AfxGetDbApp()->GetDevNames();
HGLOBAL hDM = NULL;
hWx.ChangeSystemPrinter((long)::GlobalLock(hDN), (short)::GlobalSize(hDN),(long)::GlobalLock(hDM), (short)::GlobalSize(hDM));
::GlobalUnlock(hDN); ::GlobalUnlock(hDM);

// Your suggestion...
m_hPDF.EnablePrinter("company", "activation");
hWx.PrintDirect();
hWx.DestroyWindow();

VERIFY(m_hPDF.RestoreDefaultPrinter());
m_hPDF.DestroyWindow();
.
.
.
}

I have a function the get the fire message EnablePrinterPre() before printing, in this function call again the EnablePrinter(...)
But the priter doesn't work and I still have the errore in StartDoc(...)

Thanks in advanced.

Hallo!
The problem is gone! Everythings is all right.
This mistake was very stupid, and simple! Was an error in the code activation...

Thank you very much!
