The OnVerticalScroll method shifts the pages when the user scrolls up or down, and OnPaint calls OnPrint of the parent document for each page.

PrintPreviewDocument.h:

namespace SmallWindows { 
  class PrintPreviewDocument : Document {

      bool OnKeyDown(WORD key, bool shiftPressed, 
                     bool controlPressed); 

The OnSize function is overridden only to neutralize its functionality in Document. In Document, OnSize modifies the scroll bars, but we do not want that to happen in this class:

      void OnSize(Size clientSize) {/*...
