What is "Printer Status Box"?
How do you display it?
While printing a document , after selecting file and printer , MFC displays this dialog box.
It just displays information of processing pages. This is displayed after OnPreparePrinting
and before OnPrint.
Dear Victor ,
After OnPreparePrinting , to show Printing Status Dialog box, MFC is using variable nFormatID.
The code is nFormatID = AFX_IDS_PRINTONPORT . The ID of AFX_IDS_PRINTONPORT is 61504.
and one of my strings in string table is also having ID 61504.
Naturally , instead of port info , the dialog is displaying my string.
Now I dont know what to do ? I reinstalled the printer , didn't help.
It is not good...Quote:

Open your resource.h file and manually chang the ID for your string from 61504 to something < 32767.Quote:

Thankx a lot victor ,
I will try and remember it definately .. I will avoid IDS Tag ..
Problem solved .. Conflict removed ..
But when I created String Table , I just gave ID ..
I used IDS_ tag but the value was generated by MFC ..
Then why was the conflict ?
I will start my strings with ID suggested by you in future.
