Im having trouble with the code to print a bitmap of the form. The program is a single form. Ive tried a book called C++ builder in 21 days and the code is as follows.
Graphics::TBitmap* bitmap = new Graphics::TBitmap;
bitmap->LoadFromFile("c:\\winnt\\winnt.bmp");
Printer()->BeginDoc();
Printer()->Canvas->Draw(20, 20, bitmap);
Printer()->EndDoc();
delete bitmap;

This tries to open up the winnt.bmp file but it returns an error saying that it can't. I need to change the LoadFromFile to a screen capture of the form. Can anyone point me in the right direction....
