Gdi::StartPage_I

This method prepares the printer driver to accept data.

static WINGDIAPI int WINAPI StartPage_I(
  HDC hDC
);

Parameters

  • hDC
    [in] Handle to the device context for the print job.

Return Values

A value greater than zero indicates success. A value less than or equal to zero indicates failure. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

This method is an internal version of the StartPage function.

Neither Gdi::EndPage_I nor Gdi::StartPage_I resets the device context attributes. Device context attributes remain constant across subsequent pages. You do not need to re-select objects and set up the mapping mode again before printing the next page; however, doing so produces identical printer output.

Requirements

OS Versions: Windows CE .NET 4.0 and later.
Header: Gdi.hpp.
