This function stops the current print job.

Syntax 

int AbortDoc(
  HDC 
hdc
);

Parameters

hdc

[in] Handle to the device context (DC) for the print job.

Return Value

A value greater than zero indicates success. SP_ERROR indicates failure. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

Applications should call this function to stop a print job if an error occurs, or to stop a print job after the user cancels that job. To end a successful print job, an application should call the EndDocfunction.

If Print Manager was used to start the print job, calling this function erases the entire spool job, so that the printer receives nothing. If Print Manager was not used to start the print job, the data may already have been sent to the printer. In this case, the printer driver resets the printer when possible and ends the print job.

Requirements

Library Mgprint.lib
