Printer Paper Oritentation problem!

[venAdder]

Hi,
I have a MFC app which conatians a chart control. I want to print this chart to the printer. I can do it using inbuilt properties for the chart but only in portrait mode.

Is there a way to set the orientation of the printer to landscape before is start printing. I don't know any interface or classes that provide such functionality.
Please Help!!!

The function shown below sets the orientation of the paper for a printer. Call this function before CView::OnFilePrint() and CView::OnFilePrintPreview() calls.

BOOL SetOrientation(BOOL bLandFl)
{
	PRINTDLG pd;
	pd.lStructSize=(DWORD)sizeof(PRINTDLG);
	BOOL bRet=GetPrinterDeviceDefaults(&pd);
	if(bRet)
	{
		// protect memory handle with ::GlobalLock and ::GlobalUnlock
		DEVMODE FAR *pDevMode=(DEVMODE FAR *)::GlobalLock(m_hDevMode);
		// set orientation to landscape
		 if(bLandFl)
			pDevMode->dmOrientation=DMORIENT_LANDSCAPE;
		else
			pDevMode->dmOrientation=DMORIENT_PORTRAIT;
		::GlobalUnlock(m_hDevMode);
	}
	else
	{
		CString s;
		s.LoadString(IDS_STRING34116); //Failed to select the orientation of the paper for the printer
		AfxMessageBox(s);
	}
	return bRet;
}

I forgot to say that SetOrientation() function should be declared in your application class derrived from CWinApp. HGLOBAL m_hDevMode is protected member of the CWinApp class.
