I've just tried something else: I use different code (from an old proj) and it works ok now in both debug and release mode.
In a previous post, the OnPrepareDC is from a MFC sample.
void CDISKVERView::OnPrepareDC(CDC* pDC, CPrintInfo* pInfo)
{
CFormView::OnPrepareDC(pDC, pInfo);
CClientDC dcScreen(NULL); //Get the display's device context
pDC->SetMapMode(MM_ANISOTROPIC); //Map aspect ratio
// map 1 screen logical inch to 1 printer (/output) logical inch
pDC->SetWindowExt(dcScreen.GetDeviceCaps(LOGPIXELSX),
dcScreen.GetDeviceCaps(LOGPIXELSY)); //Window is display
pDC->SetViewportExt((2*pDC->GetDeviceCaps(LOGPIXELSX)),
(2*pDC->GetDeviceCaps(LOGPIXELSY))); //Viewport is printer
}

Aren't you mapping 1 screen logical inch to 2 printer logical inches?
I'm still not sure why the other one worked in one build mode and not the other...

The comment didnt match the code, however, when I tried 1 to 1 mapping, it works the same (I dont really know why).
When it works with the old code, I was so relieved that I didnt investigate more into the problem.
After reading your post, I went back and traced all the code and found out why it didnt work (in release mode only):
the only code which was missing is the SetMapMode in the OnPrint(...)which made it not work:
void CDISKVERView::OnPrint(CDC* pDC, CPrintInfo* pInfo /*pInfo*/)
{
pDC->SetMapMode(MM_LOENGLISH);
CDISKVERView::PrintPage( pDC, pInfo);
}
when I add that line in the old prj file, it works. I dont understand why though.

That's a good sign that OnPrepareDC() wasn't setting up the DC the way the code
doing the printing ( CDISKVERView::PrintPage()) was expecting. That's certainly a
different map mode than OnPrepareDC() is using 
So did you get it all working the way you wanted??

I've just read the def of the map modes:
MM_ANISOTROPIC Logical units are converted to arbitrary units with arbitrarily scaled axes.
It didnt work because it was set to that mode (again code is from a sample).
Now it works because right before printing, the mode is re-set to
MM_LOENGLISH Each logical unit is converted to 0.01 inch. Positive x is to the right; positive y is up.
It makes sense.
Thanks for helping.

I think I've only provided emotional support LOL
Anyway, OnPrepareDC() is called before OnPrint() is repeatedly called for each page,
so you are overriding any map mode set in OnPrepareDC().
If you want to, you can remove the code you have in OnPrepareDC() and
replace it with the pDC->SetMapMode(MM_LOENGLISH); call.
This should work the same:
void CDISKVERView::OnPrepareDC(CDC* pDC, CPrintInfo* pInfo)
{
CFormView::OnPrepareDC(pDC, pInfo);
pDC->SetMapMode(MM_LOENGLISH);
}
void CDISKVERView::OnPrint(CDC* pDC, CPrintInfo* pInfo )
{
CDISKVERView::PrintPage( pDC, pInfo);
}Mark

Yes, the scale mode should be set in OnPrepareDC (cleaner).

Which Font are you using? It can be tht the font in your view fits and is visible, but after conversions to the printer is too small. In my project I had a similar problem. The output was just a single point because my font was so dammned small that a complete sentence was not visible. Take a look to the size of your document, the dimension that you are stablishing and create a compatible font to that dimensions/device printer

I think it's a different and strange problem because it works fine in debug mode.
The font I select is the "default" font which user is using, but I control the height and weight so it should not be the problem:
logFont.lfHeight = 35; // 3/4th inch high in MM_LOENGLISH
logFont.lfWeight = 400;//700;//max bold
CFont font;
if (font.CreateFontIndirect(&logFont))
pOldFont = pDC->SelectObject(&font);
Thanks.

Hello,
I have a read only CEdit control on my dialog, when i run the application and there is always wait cursor
( | - this sign of wait cursor) on the Control, How can we hide the cursor?
thanks

Cursor or caret?

yeah, i think it is called caret, the sign ( | ) is always flashing on the control
|
|

You could adjust the order of the controls in the dialog
so a different control gets the initial focus.
And/or you can use SetFocus() or WM_NEXTDLGCTL/GotoDlgCtrl()
to move the focus to a different control.

I just saw a method HideCaret(), but it didnt work
this->GetDlgItem(IDC_EDIT1)->HideCaret(); is this right?
|
|
|
|
|
HideCaret is a bad idea unless you're the one that called ShowCaret.

I have only one control on my dialog, if so, what should i do?
thanks

In your dialog class OnOnitDialog() override, try
SetFocus();
...
return FALSE; //<-- just doing this may work
You can also disable the control, but it will look different.
You can also use a static text control, but it too will look different (although
you can maybe use WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC to provide a specific background).
That's all I can think of at the moment

No problem.
Did you get a solution? If so, what worked?
BTW, I still think it's silly that read-only edit controls show the caret

How else would you copy text from them?

Can you change the Z-order of the controls, such that this edit control is not the first one given focus? Or, can you disable the control?

You need it enabled but read-only, is that right?
Gofur Halmurat wrote: what happens if i change z-order?
Nothing, when there is only one control.
