Hi

It is not a good idea to use different bases for margin metrics.


CRect        m_rcMargins;   // Margins (mm*100 or inches*1000)

in class CXTPPrintOptions.

Example/problem:

You start ReportSample with language settings of Enlish (USA).

Margins will be initialized to a half inch.

Now change at runtime your local to e.g. "Germany (Germany)":

I expect that 0,5" is equal to 12,7mm.
If you print at different locales, you have different page margins.

I suggest to use always HIMETRICS or HIENGLISH unit type and only convert units for dialog. Or it's a helper necessary which saves the actual metric mode, because not to convert a value twice in WM_SETTINGCHANGE.

Have a nice day
