BUG: (I)CntrOutl Does Not Set Target Device Information

Last reviewed: May 17, 1995
Article ID: Q108310

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft OLE Libraries for Windows and Win32s, version 2.01

Microsoft OLE Libraries, included with:

    - Microsoft Windows NT, versions 3.5 and 3.51
    - Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

During the print process from (I)CntrOutl, a server application is asked to render its display with the TARGETDEVICE structure set to NULL instead of containing a valid structure. This implies that (I)CntrOutl wants a screen representation rather than a printed representation of the object.

CAUSE

(I)CntrOutl is not filling out the TARGETDEVICE structure; it prefers to use a screen representation on the printer, rather than request the printed presentation.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
