Purpose
To create a printer device context for use with Windows printing functions.
Syntax
<oPtrDevice>:CreatePrinterDC() hDC (16-bit: WORD, 32-bit: PTR)
Description
This method creates a printer device context based on information contained in the PtrDevice internal structures. Use this method if you need to create a printer device context when printing is not in progress. If printing or preview is in progress, the <oPtrDevice>:PrinterDeviceContext access will return the current printer device context.
You are responsible for calling the Windows function DeleteDC(hDC) when you are finished with this device context.
Example
// Create a printer device context
hDC := oPtrDevice:CreatePrinterDC()
... // go something with it
DeleteDC(hDC)
