Thread: Printing using DrawText() or TextOut()

Hey,

I am printing information from combo boxes and edit boxes out on paper, and at the moment I am using DrawText(). But I don't know how to get it to draw it in a different place. I looked at TextOut() and it had int x and int y, so like coordinates. Would that be better for waht I am doing or does someone know how to move the draw text around?

Here is my code so you can see how it is being done.

Code:

void CDEPDlg::OnPrintEditControl() {
	//// Create a printer DC    
	CPrintDialog dlg(FALSE);     
	CDC dc; 

    #if 0 //Show print dialog.    
	if (dlg.DoModal() == IDCANCEL)        
		return;    
	dc.Attach(dlg.GetPrinterDC());
    #else //Don't show print dialog.   
	PRINTDLG prtDlg;    
	AfxGetApp()->GetPrinterDeviceDefaults(&prtDlg); //Should check for error.   
	dlg.m_pd.hDevMode = prtDlg.hDevMode;   
	dlg.m_pd.hDevNames = prtDlg.hDevNames;    
	dc.Attach(dlg.CreatePrinterDC());
	#endif    
	dc.m_bPrinting = TRUE; 
	//// Now use the DC.    
	//Get the page size.    
	CRect printArea;    
	printArea.SetRect(0, 0, dc.GetDeviceCaps(HORZRES), dc.GetDeviceCaps(VERTRES));     
	//Start printing.    
	DOCINFO docinfo;    
	memset(&docinfo, 0, sizeof(docinfo));    
	docinfo.cbSize = sizeof(docinfo);    
	docinfo.lpszDocName = _T("Edit Control Print");     
	dc.StartDoc(&docinfo); //Should check for error.    
	dc.StartPage();        //Should check for error.         
	//Draw the edit control contents.    
	CString sText;   
	m_type1.GetWindowText(sText);    
	dc.DrawText(sText, printArea, DT_NOPREFIX | DT_WORDBREAK); 
	//End printing    
	dc.EndPage();    
	dc.EndDoc();

}

Thanks for the help
