How to draw an OCX to a CBitmap (MFC, c++) - visual-c++

Question

How can I draw an OCX (I do have the sources) to an CBitmap-Object or something alike?
Background: My client creates PDF-Documents and part of these documents is an Output from an OCX. The PDF-lib-Interface has a Method to put an Image from an CBitmap-Object to the PDF-Page.
So what i want to do ist let the Program create an CBitmap-Object, pass that to the OCX to let it draw its content onto it and then pass the he CBitmap to the PDF-library to get it into the document.
So the main question is: how to draw my ocx into a CBitmap-Object?
I'm using Visual C++, Windows, MFC/ATL.
Thanks a lot

Answer 1

actually I didn't manage to render the OXC to a CBitmap (just got a black box drawn) but rendering into an ATL::CImage and making a CBitmap out of it worked:
ATL::CImage* CPrnBasePrinter::DrawBeamerToImage(CSPCListView* pListViewWithBeamer, const CRect& rect4Beamer)
{
ASSERT(pListViewWithBeamer != nullptr);
auto* pRetVal = new CImage();
pRetVal->Create(rect4Beamer.Width(), rect4Beamer.Height(), 24);
HDC hdcImage = pRetVal->GetDC();
//Draw Control to CImage
pListViewWithBeamer->DrawBeamerToDC(HandleToLong(hdcImage),
rect4Beamer.left, rect4Beamer.top, rect4Beamer.right, rect4Beamer.bottom);
pRetVal->ReleaseDC();
return pRetVal;
}
void CPrnBasePrinter::DrawImageFromCImage(
const ATL::CImage* pImage, const CRect& rect) const
{
CBitmap* pbmp2Print = CBitmap::FromHandle(*pImage);
// Get the size of the bitmap
BITMAP bmpInfo;
pbmp2Print->GetBitmap(&bmpInfo);
//virtual - Draws the CBitmap to an Printer-DC or a PDF-Document
DrawImageFromLoadedBitmap(pbmp2Print, &bmpInfo, rect);
}
void CPrnBasePrinter::Draw()
{
//m_pListviewDataSource is an OCX capable of drawing itself into a given DC
ATL::CImage* pBeamerImage = DrawBeamerToImage(m_pListviewDataSource, CRect(0, 0, 100, 50));
if (pBeamerImage != nullptr){
DrawImageFromCImage(pBeamerImage, CRect(0, 0, 100, 50));
delete pBeamerImage;
}
}
