Is there a way to implement printing in MFC? I have created a Doc/View SDI using CFormView as my base class (which told me it does not support printing). Does this mean it just doesn't support it or it can't be done? I've tried Google and this site, but I have not found anything that doesn't over complicate things, by this I mean, I just want to print a basic formatted view of my completed form. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,
-DrB

I guess I wasn't using the proper search terms :-(

What terms could you use other than "cformview" and "print"?

If I add all the printing support created in a CView class to a CFormView class that is created by the wizard of the CView class, will I have the printing support in my CFormView?

No idea, what happens when you try?

DrBones69 9-Jan-12 19:03pm

Haven't tried yet, I didn't want to waste my time if someone has tried it and it does not work. That's why I'm asking before hand.

OK, in the four days since you asked this question nobody has responded to say that it works. Does that not tell you something?

DrBones69 10-Jan-12 18:24pm

OK! I guess I was hoping for a "Yes" or "No" answer. I guess no one knows.

Strange, it even gave 135,000 results; a 5. :-)
