DrawToDC is part of MSHTML.IHTMLElementRender. It is a real lifesaver because what it lets you do is ask the browser to render the current page to a device context that YOU provide. Now, this lets you do any arbitrary operation on the DC then print it or do whatever you like (in my case, rotate 180 degrees so that I can print thermal labels so they pop out the printer 'the right way round' for the user i.e readable). Unfortunately IE's programmable printing control is otherwise a bit too rudimentary - for example, if you want to print to a specific printer you have to programmatically make that the default printer, ask IE to print, then put it back the way it was. Ick! I will download the source and try and see where (and why) it's crashing, as the problem is intermittent - though certainly a couple of minutes trying to use the control in even the simplest project is almost certain to expose some kind of glitch - not always a crash, sometimes, as I said, it just 'sulks' and won't display any more web pages. _______________________________________________ mozilla-embedding mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/mozilla-embedding
