title: Implementing my own print preview?
body: <p>I have developed my own Report Control which is simply nothing but drawing text on a CDC of the control window's client DC. I have got the printing function to work too. The report output is sent to the printer directly. However I want to let the user know the output before the report is actually printed. </p>
  
  <p>I cannot do this using MFC's print preview architecture as my project is not using the doc/view architecture. Is it possible for me to create a print preview window myself ? How does MFC handle this ? Are there any special processing need to be done or keep in mind when showing the printer output on screen ? I've read that MFC used 2 DCs for print preview purposes. Do I need to do this as well if Im goin for a custom print preview ?</p>
  
  <p>Your input is highly appreciated !

  <p>P.S. i use Visual Studio 6 and there is no option to change this to a newer version just as there is no way for me to add doc/view support.</p>
