ActiveX Ctrl not displayed in printing!!!!!!!

[Ahmad Jalil Qarshi]

hi!

I have an ActiveX control for Word written in VC++7.1 using ATL. now when i
insert my control into Word document and print it. It just displays image
rendered on it but doesn't diplay the text displayed on the control. my
OnDraw function looks like that.

HRESULT CMyObj::OnDraw(ATL_DRAWINFO & di)
{
RECT& rc = *(RECT*)di.prcBounds;
RECT TextRect = {0,35,rc.right,rc.bottom/2};

m_CompLogoImg->get_Width(&lImgWidth);
m_CompLogoImg->get_Height(&lImgHeight);

HRESULT hres = m_CompLogoImg->Render(di.hdcDraw,rc.right*3/4,
rc.bottom/2, rc.right*1/4, rc.bottom/2, 0, lImgHeight,
lImgWidth, -(lImgHeight), &r);

CComBSTR bstrText = _T("Location");
ExtTextOut(di.hdcDraw,TextRect.left +2 , TextRect.top,ETO_CLIPPED,
&TextRect, OLE2T(bstrText.m_str), bstrText.Length(), NULL); return S_OK;
}

i found an article
http://www.codeguru.com/Cpp/COM-Tech/atl/printing/article.php/c3559/ but
couldn't understand it well. any body there to solve this problem

Thanks in advance.

Are you sure (0, 35) is within di.prcBounds? If not, you could well be
drawing outside the clipping region, and thus not drawing at all.

Also, make sure you have a suitable font selected. (If you created a font
yourself and selected the height in pixels then it could be very very tiny
when printed.)

ExtTextOut(di.hdcDraw,TextRect.left +2 , TextRect.top,ETO_CLIPPED,
&TextRect, OLE2T(bstrText.m_str), bstrText.Length(), NULL); return
S_OK;

You could just use ExtTextOutW and pass bstrText.m_str without the
conversion here, presuming you don't need to deal with embedded NULLs (which
using OLE2T won't help you with, anyway).
