Hi all,
I have to recompile a MFC++ Program developped under NT4.0 in XP. We store
the printer settings (DEVMODE and DEVNAMES) as part of our document. When
printing in batch mode, we need to create a PrintingContext without asking
the user. Here is my code fragment (I removed all error handling):

BOOL CTsprintView::OnPreparePrinting(CPrintInfo* pInfo) {
 // we get DEVMODE and DEVNAMES from the document...
....
 pDoc->setContext(pInfo);
 // now pInfo->m_pPD->m_pd.hDevMode and
 // pInfo->m_pPD->m_pd.hDevNames are set.

 // now we create the context:
 pInfo->m_pPD->CreatePrinterDC();  
 return true;
}

when starting the program as above, nothing gets printed. (And I see no
error messages). When I change the last line to

 pInfo->m_pPD->DoModal();  

the dialog gets popped up correcty with the right settings and printing
works as expected.

Any hints/help is welcome.

Thanks
Jürg
