IPrint interface (docobj.h)

  • Article

Enables compound documents in general and active documents in particular to support programmatic printing.

Inheritance

The IPrint interface inherits from the IUnknown interface. IPrint also has these types of members:

Methods

The IPrint interface has these methods.

 
IPrint::GetPageInfo

Retrieves the number of a document's first page and the total number of pages.
IPrint::Print

Prints an object on the specified printer, using the specified job requirements.
IPrint::SetInitialPageNum

Sets the page number of the first page of a document.

Remarks

After a document is loaded, containers and other clients can call IPrint::Print to instruct a document to print itself, specifying printing control flags, the target device, the particular pages to print, and other options. The client can control the continuation of printing by calling the IContinueCallback interface.

An object that implements IPrint registers itself with the Printable key stored under its CLSID as follows:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID{...}\Printable

Callers determine whether a particular object class supports programmatic printing of its persistent state by looking in the registry for this key.
