Working VC6 app prints too many pages in VS2005

VS2005

Hi all,

I've got a C++ app which prints up to four pages. Under VC++6 you could specify From and To pages in the print dialog, but in VS2005, it always prints all of the pages even if you specify From=1 and To=1.

I've tried patching the OnPrint() function by adding

if ( pInfo->m_nCurPage == pInfo->GetToPage() )
{
    pInfo->m_bContinuePrinting = false;
}

at the bottom but it still prints all the pages.

Googling suggests that it's a bug in VS2005, any ideas how to stop after the correct number of pages if it doesn't stop printing when I set pInfo->m_bContinuePrinting to false?

Fixed it, it needs to go in CView::OnPrepareDC(), and stop the printout if we have gone past the To page:

void CMyView::OnPrepareDC(CDC* pDC, CPrintInfo* pInfo) 
{
    CView::OnPrepareDC(pDC, pInfo);
	
    if ( pInfo )
    {
        if ( pInfo->m_nCurPage > pInfo->GetToPage() )
            pInfo->m_bContinuePrinting = FALSE;
    }
}
