Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

#define SETPRINTERDC 9 
short Control(lpDevice, SETPRINTERDC, lphdc, NULL)
LPPDEVICE lpDevice;
LPHANDLE lphdc;
 
The SETPRINTERDC escape saves the given device context for use in a
subsequent call to the OpenJob function (GDI.240). GDI calls this escape
whenever an application calls the StartDoc function (GDI.377) or the
STARTDOC escape using the Escape function (GDI.38).
 
Printer drivers that call the OpenJob function to start a print job must
support the SETPRINTERDC escape.
 
Parameter  Description
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
lpDevice   Points to a PDEVICE structure specifying the device.
 
lphdc      Points to a device context handle for the application starting
           the print job.
 
Return Value
 
The return value is TRUE if the escape is successful. Otherwise, it is
FALSE.
 
Comments
 
The SETPRINTERDC escape should save the device context handle in the
PDEVICE structure and use it when calling the OpenJob function as part of
processing the STARTDOC escape.
