Hello,

My application (= a service) has to generate a simple document (text)
on a printer.

I have try the following :

TPrinter *pPrinter = Printer();
if ( pPrinter != NULL )
{
pPrinter->BeginDoc();

pPrinter->Canvas->Font->Name = "Courrier New";
pPrinter->Canvas->Font->Size = 12;
pPrinter->Canvas->TextOut(150, 150, "My text to write");

pPrinter->EndDoc();
}

It works with a debug view but without view in my real application it blocks
on BeginDoc.

I have to make it work in a service (with no view)
How can I do that ?

I am working with C++ Builder 6 on Windows.

Thanks for any help

I have similar code in one of my services that works ok (with Builder 5).
However, just prior to the call to BeginDoc() I set the Title property. I
have found that failure to set the title or setting after BeginDoc() causes
problems.

pPrinter->Title = "Some Title";
pPrinter->BeginDoc();

Thanks for this answer.

I set the title and correct some access rights problem too.
After several modifications it works !
