LRasterPaint::SetClipRgn

#include "Ltwrappr.h"

L_INT LRasterPaint::SetClipRgn(hClipRng)

HRGN hClipRgn;

/* region handle */

Sets the current clipping region for the toolkit.

Parameter	Description
hClipRgn	A handle to the region to be used to clip the painting output. If this parameter is NULL, there is no clipping region.

Returns

SUCCESS	The function was successful.
< 1	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes

Comments

This function creates a copy of the specified region and uses it to clip the painting output. The toolkit will use the region as it is, without doing any transformations.

If a bitmap has been set using the LRasterPaint::SetMetrics function, the toolkit will perform any necessary clipping, draw to the bitmap, and finally draw the resulting bitmap to the specified device context.
