Printer left margin

I have code that prints.
PrintDlg.
StartDoc
StartPage
TextOut
EndPage
EndDoc

I am trying to calculate left margin from (inchis * 100) to pixels.
So the left input for TextOut will be correct.
How do I do this?

Re: Printer left margin

And how does your code look like?

Does this help?

360,1020 is the bottom middle of the page in pixels.
850,-1100 from other peoples code.
Is what I think is the page size in inchis * 100?

Re: Printer left margin

ohhh, please, edit your post adding Code tags around code snippet!
Otherwise it is verz hard to read/understand what you wrote...

Re: Printer left margin

U can use BeginPrint and in that GetDeviceCaps .. U can set page layout in that

What are all these GD_...() functions?
What is ClearMem4()? Other ...4() functions?
What are these magic numbers: 360,1020, 850, ...?

Please, when you post code use code tags as asked by Victor in post #4. Go Advanced, select code then click '#'.
