_AFX_NO_PRINTING_SUPPORT
is defined and all the printing mng is not available anymore for MFC8 under WinCE (for Example the definition of the CPrintInfo, all the BeginPrint etc for the CView is missing).
I've ported an application from EVC4 that was using these functionalities
Now, instead of hacking my MFC8 version (recompile it for every) I'd like to know if this is going to be implemented again in the next upcoming service pack or not
thanks
_AFX_NO_PRINTING_SUPPORT and MFC8 for WinCE

Nice to hear that what was working before upgrading to VS2005 from EVC4 is not working anymore. Don't think also is a big effort to add it back...
seems like a lazy answer

I guess they did build this with _AFX_NO_PRINTING_SUPPORT defined for Windows CE. The only thing I can suggest is if you post a request (or bug) at
http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/productfeedback
and get people to vote for it. Otherwise you'll have to use the provided makefiles to rebuild them with that undefined. I guess whoever did the port of MFC to Windows CE never thought that people would use it to print from a mobile device, but obviously they were mistaken, because it would be useful to generate a PDF file (e.g. to a printer driver) for example, or print to one of those ones with a tape built in etc.

As of now , we are not considering adding printing support to MFC device library.
However we will consider your inputs here.

I can not see that it is defined. I see that there are #ifndef _AFX_NO_PRINTING_SUPPORT, but since this is not defined it doesn't have an effect.
I currently have no machine here with the CE Part installed. Are you sure that the links are missing in the LIB

Hi,
Sorry if you got a feeling of unresposiveness on our part from srikant's reply. Actually the decision was motivated primarily by size constraints. We didn't want the dll size to swell too much.
We are sorry for any inconvenience caused.
Thanks
