Hi,

I was wondering if anyone can help me with a Printing problem I am having its Win32 program using GNU gcc compiler and the codeblocks IDE.

I am using TextOut to the printer to try to print mutiple lines of text to the printer
but it just seems to printout two lines of the same text, which is not what i want it to do.

my code is
#include <math.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <Windows.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <string.h>
#include <Winspool.h>
#include <CommDlg.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <wingdi.h>
#include <winbase.h>

Please use code tags--especially with this much code.

It looks like your problem is here:


char szTextStr[]= "";
char szTextStr2[]= "";

HDC prn ;

strcat(szTextStr,QuoteText);
strcat(szTextStr2,QuoteText2);



Your essentially declaring each of these strings as an array of one character (the terminating NULL in the empty string. You're then trying to concatenate presumably more text than an empty sting further down. You're overflowing the array resulting in undefined behavior.

Allocate at least as much as your largest expected string:


char szTextStr[100]= "";
char szTextStr2[100]= "";

Thanks for the reply that has sorted my little problem out.

Sorry for not using code tags but I am a newbie to the site.

If you dont mind telling me how do i use code tags ?

Also I cant believe I made such a simple mistake. I am just learning C++
but even I should know that one.

Thanks for pointing it out so quickly
my Program works perfectly now.

For code tags, just use and around your code.

typing this in the editor:


int main(void)
{
return ERROR_SUCCESS;
}


Show up like this:


int main(void)
{
return ERROR_SUCCESS;
}

Hi Snoopy07
With the additions I made to yor code it prints 3 posts of result.
It gave me a clue as to develop my own calculator. Thanks!

[code]

case 10:

ShowWindow(hwndButton3, SW_HIDE);
char szTextStr[100]= "";
char szTextStr2[100]= "";
char szTextStr3[100]= ""; /* "Added line" */


HDC prn ;


strcat(szTextStr,QuoteText);
strcat(szTextStr2,QuoteText2);
strcat(szTextStr3,QuoteText3); /* "Added line" */


prn = GetPrinterDC();


// Prepare the DOCINFO.
static DOCINFO di = { sizeof (DOCINFO), TEXT ("Gas Calculator : Printing...")};
StartDoc (prn, &di);

StartPage (prn) ;

TextOut(prn, 650,350,szTextStr, lstrlen (szTextStr));
TextOut(prn, 650,550,szTextStr2, lstrlen (szTextStr2));
TextOut(prn, 650,750,szTextStr3, lstrlen (szTextStr3)); /* "Added line" */

EndPage (prn);
