VC++ 6.00: How set the landscape printing mode?

I know that it seems to be a trivial question.
But I did not find how to set the printing mode to landscape before displaying
the CPrintDialog, with VC++ 6.00.
I tried to change the DEVMODE structure with GetDevMode method but I always got
an error: The memory could not be written.

Help highly appreciates.

Hi,

There is a Knowledge Base article at Microsoft's site on how to do this. Don't have the article off hand, should be able to search for it. If you can't find it, I could post the code... let me know.

This is how I do it

LPDEVMODE lp = (LPDEVMODE) ::GlobalLock(dlg.m_pd.hDevMode);
ASSERT(lp);
lp->dmOrientation = DMORIENT_LANDSCAPE;
::GlobalUnlock(dlg.m_pd.hDevMode);
ResetDC(dlg.m_pd.hDC,lp);

Thanks to all.
The code below does excatly what I wanted.

LPDEVMODE lp = (LPDEVMODE) ::GlobalLock(dlg.m_pd.hDevMode);
ASSERT(lp);
lp->dmOrientation = DMORIENT_LANDSCAPE;
::GlobalUnlock(dlg.m_pd.hDevMode);
ResetDC(dlg.m_pd.hDC,lp);
