mfc >> how to get the size of the paper selected before any print or print preview

Hi,
I need to know the size of paper user has selected in print dlg before he
starts any print job.
I used
CPrintDialog dlg(FALSE)
CDC dc;
dc.Attach(dlg.m_pd.hDC);
int Paperwidth=GetDeviceCaps(dc.m_hDC,HORZSIZE);

But it always returns the same number , which is the width of an A4 paper
regardlesss of the the type of the paper which was selected in print setup.

thanks,
Behzad

hi,
It did the job, just one bug. It needed to run print setup one time to work
ok.
It got Ok, when I called a CWinApp::GetPrinterDeviceDefaults(&pd) before
it.

again thanks,

2. Printing - PrintPreview Dialog and Printing on Paper - text is being changed 

Good morning,

I have a print routine where I use a "printpreview dialog' control.

The text is perfect

BUT

when I then print the job all the text is completely crazy, a bit like
"wingdings".

Also, I have downloaded a free demo off the web and that demo works
fine (uses printpreview and prints).

Any ideas,

Thankyou

Peter

6. print preview bug when printing 

I have encountered a bug in print preview:

In my program, data for printing is taken from arrays. When print preview is
invoked or page is printed directly, it is ok, but when user prints from
print preview, any data that was in array is not draw, so only thing printed
is header and footer.
Arrays with data are in the same scope as variables holding header and
footer data.
They do not loose data and they are not reset as I can access them after
print preview.

What could this be?
