Return Value

Nonzero if successful; otherwise 0.

{
   PRINTDLG pd;
   pd.lStructSize=(DWORD)sizeof(PRINTDLG);
   BOOL bRet=GetPrinterDeviceDefaults(&pd);
   if(bRet)
   {
      // protect memory handle with ::GlobalLock and ::GlobalUnlock
      DEVMODE FAR *pDevMode=(DEVMODE FAR *)::GlobalLock(m_hDevMode);
      // set orientation to landscape
      pDevMode->dmOrientation=DMORIENT_LANDSCAPE;
      ::GlobalUnlock(m_hDevMode);
   }
}
