Hi, I am trying to implement a printing functionality in an application and have never done it. One question I have, is it possible to create multiple DC which I will pass to my printer DC? I need to print different kind of information on the page from different sources, so I was thinking of creating a DC for each of the information I need to print, then arrange those DC on the main printer DC. Is it possible? How can it be done otherwise? Thank you

How can it be done otherwise? You don't pass DCs to another DC. You should be drawing on the printer DC the same way you'd draw on a screen/window DC. The sources for the rendering you do on the printer DC are all up to you :) Mark -- Mark Salsbery Microsoft MVP - Visual C++ > > Thank you
