Printing an HTML file with Win32 API's...

[sammy_lb_2000]

Hello Group,

Can I print an HTML file by using the Win32 API's functions ?

for example,

CreateDC()
StartDoc()

Thanks for help.

If you can find an appropriate renderer, such as MFC's CHtmlView, then
of course you can (bearing in mind that a CHtmlView probably renders
similarly to IE, i.e. shite). But this is a question that should be
asked in a Win32/MFC/.NET NG, as it has nothing to do with HTML per se.

No, you can't.

MSHTML, the collection of objects that CHtmlView wraps, does not expose
anything you could use a DC on. MSHTML handles all printing, and screen
output for that matter, internally. Basically, if you can't do it with
jscript then you can't do it with MSHTML, or CHtmlView.

The closest you can get (apart from the IHTMLWindow3.print method) is print
templates (search microsoft.com).
