From where are you calling this function? Based on the fact that you are returning DoPreparePrinting() I will say you are calling it from OnPreparePrinting(). According to this MSDN page[^] you should be setting the page orientation in OnPrepareDC.

In OnPrepareDC you would update your DEVMODE structure as you have done, then call CDC::ResetDC with the updated DEVMODE to change the orientation.

The secret is that you need to call pDC->ResetDC(&sNewDevModeStruct) after you call pDC->EndPage() for page 3 and prior to calling pDC->StartPage() for page 4.

ResetDC is the magic behind print jobs that have pages that are 1) different orientations 2) sourced from different paper bins 3) different paper sizes.

See MSDN for more info.

Use the import functionality to add them into the resource.

Take a look at EndDialog.
Or calling OnOk() or OnCancel() works also but DoModal will return IDOK or IDCANCEL then.

maybe u can use inno setup instead.
i had ur problem before.
inno setup is very good except it can not replace files which is in using properly - maybe i lost some features of the setup, u can try it.
u can find downlod link in this forum or by google.

I am trying to find a way to extract and send the contents of TEXT FILE 1, via email, to a list of email addresses in TEXT FILE 2.

So just to clarify, I would like some code which will rip the contents of Text File 1 and send the contents to everyone in Text File 2.

Any help received will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

No, sorry to dissapoint you, but its not going to be used for SPAM!!

I am trying to implement a notification process in my comapany, which aims to notify users when a change has occured to certain documents and systems.

I have got a program that is triggered off when a change has been recorded. Now, I would like to find a process to notifiy users about the changes made.

Cheers.

MAPI has already been mensioned. You will need a MAPI mail client installed on the machine however in order to use it.

You could also use SMTP see http://www.codeproject.com/internet/csmtpconn.asp[^]

for a good SMTP wrapper.

With regards to reading the data from the file, if you are using MFC take a look at CFile see http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vclib/html/_MFC_CFile.asp[^]
