This is not something I've ever done, but with a bit of googling, I've found the function InitializePrintMonitor2[^] which may serve your purposes.
It looks like an official hook mechanism into the print spooler. It also looks a bit gnarly to use, but if you're writing services that should be nothing new.
I wish you luck - and I also demand you write an article if you succeed - I think this would be an interesting project!

Thanks! 
But, the function is for drivers in Kernel mode - although it might lead to something useful using google...
I sure will write an article on how to get all those pesky notifications that I already found, and those I will find!
Thanks again!

Recently i have converted my project to support Common Language Runtime Support (/clr).
After this i notice linking takes long time.
Can we reduce this speed issue?

With immediate effect after you've started using CLR, almost instantly everyone on this forum starts hating you. (OK, may be not everyone, but at least I and CPallini...)
Try the CLI/C++ forum[^]

Actually I like very much the CLR.

I can't declare a function like this:
GraphicsPath GetPath();
It's not convenient, so what is the benifits?

I imagine it's because GDI classes just wrap a raw handle to the object inside Gdiplus.dll. The constructor creates the handle, and the destructor closes it. As there's no hint of reference counting, copying the classes is just begging for errors.
This protects you.
I've been doing a bunch of GDI+ work recently, and what I did in some code I wrote yesterday was:
BOOL CreateArrowCap (GraphicsPath &path, float fSize)
{
...
}
I used the reference rather than a pointer, as it makes little sense to pass NULL. But it would be valid in other circumstances.

The only thing that I can think of, from Microsoft, on these lines is the CAB SDK[^]. But I see you are wanting to compress image files, so I do not know what good can cab compression do for you.
There is no standard way of creating a zip compressed file using MFC or Windows API. I believe the .NET framework has this feature though. There is also the LZMA SDK[^] which can compress to .7z format, if you'd like it. The compression would be better than zip (and even rar) and the library works like a charm.
Almost all compression utilities can extract from .7z files, so you don't have to possibly worry on the compatibility front too.

Hi Ashish,
Here you find good library for ZIP/UnZIP uitility.
It is just .cpp & .h files for ZIP & UnZIP utility.
This library is used in any c++ compiler (g++ linux, VC++ eVC++).
Do not trust a computer...
Always check what computer is doing

I am trying to cast an int pointer to double pointer, but conversion doesn´t work. I´ve tried c style casting and reinterpret_cast without success. Can anyone help me, please? For instance, how can I make ths work fine:
int a[]={1,2,3,4};
int* b;
double* c;
b=a;
c=(double*)b;
Thanks

The code is working fine, anyway it is not performing a conversion, it is interpreting the raw bits as a double.
You have the following string of bits (only the first two ints of the array matters):
1 2
00000000 00000000 00000000 00000001 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000010
as a double it is
00000000 00000000 00000000 00000001 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000010
^
0 as sign (first bit on the left), i.e. positive number
00000000 00000000 00000000 00000001 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000010
^---------^
0 as exponent with in excess -1023 representation represents denormals when fraction is <> 0
(as in your case).
00000000 00000000 00000000 00000001 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000010
^---------------------------------------------------------^
2^-20 + 2^-51 = 9,5367431685033920985006261616945e-7 as fraction
That gives, for a denormalized number
fraction * 2^-1021 = 4,2439915839068072135877506064327e-314

What do you mean by "conversion doesn't work"? There's actually no conversion that I can see. If you were wanting to convert the individual int elements of your int array to double, you should do that 'manually'. If you were just intending to change the pointer type, then there shouldn't be any difficulty:
int nArray[] = {1, 2, 3, 4};
double* pDouble = reinterpret_cast<double*>(nArray);
CString szStr;
szStr.Format(_T("%d %d"), *pDouble, *(pDouble+1));
AfxMessageBox(szStr);
Of course, I assume that you know what reinterpret_cast does.

Hi,
I am just trying to get a pointer to double from a pointer to int. That is what I mean by conversion. When you say 'manually' I actually dont know what you mean. I tried your code:
int nArray[] = {1, 2, 3, 4};
double* pDouble = reinterpret_cast<double*>(nArray);
but when I try to get *(pDouble(+i)) value(s) (for i=0,1,2,3) don´t get the expected 1.0,2.0,3.0,4.0

Have a closer look:
1. nArray is a an array of integers - the elements stored in the array are of 'int' data type.
2. You create a pointer variable, which actually is supposed to point to a double, but you made it (you wanted that) to point to the beginning address of the integer array.
3. Now, it's just that the pointer type is double, but is pointing to an int array. You still have not converted the individual int elements in the array to double type.
4. If that's what you want, you can try %g in place of %d in the CString::Format() statement and see the results. (this way, you are just 'interpreting' an integer as a double, and you haven't converted any of the array elements from one datatype to another)
But please remember that the elements in the array are *still* int ones and if you want every element of the array to be of double data type, you must do the conversion yourself for every element of the array. Changing a pointer won't do that, quite obviously.
Am I clear enough?
