EndPage

The EndPage function informs the device that the application has finished writing to a page. This function is typically used to direct the device driver to advance to a new page. This function replaces the NEWFRAME printer escape.

int EndPage(

HDC hdc	// handle to device context
);

Parameters
hdc

Identifies the device context for the print job.

Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is greater than zero.

If the function fails, the return value is less than or equal to zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks
Use the ResetDC function to change the device mode, if necessary, after calling the EndPage function. Note that a call to ResetDC resets all device context attributes back to default values.

Windows 3.x: EndPage resets the device context attributes back to default values. You must re-select objects and set up the mapping mode again before printing the next page.

Windows 95: EndPage does not reset the device context attributes. However, the next StartPage call does reset the device context attributes to default values. At that time, you must re-select objects and set up the mapping mode again before printing the next page.

Windows NT: Beginning with Windows NT Version 3.5, neither EndPage or StartPage resets the device context attributes. Device context attributes remain constant across subsequent pages. You do not need to re-select objects and set up the mapping mode again before printing the next page; however, doing so will produce the same results and reduce code differences between Windows 95 and Windows NT.
