This function starts a print job.

Syntax

int StartDoc( 
  HDC hdc, 
  CONST DOCINFO* lpdi
);

Parameters

  • hdc
    [in] Handle to the device context (DC) for the print job.
  • lpdi
    [in] Long pointer to a DOCINFO structure that contains the name of the document file and the name of the output file.

Return Value

A value greater than zero indicates success. This value is the print job identifier for the document. A value less than or equal to zero indicates failure. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

Windows Embedded CE does not support printing to files. It ignores the lpszOutputmember of the DOCINFO structure.
