L_VecHitTest

#include "lvkrn.h"

L_LVKRN_API L_INT L_VecHitTest(pVector, pPoint, pObject)

const pVECTORHANDLE pVector;	/* pointer to a vector handle */
const POINT * pPoint;	/* pointer to a POINT structure */
pVECTOROBJECT pObject;	/* pointer to a VECTOROBJECT structure */

Performs a hit test using the specified 2D point.

Parameter	Description
pVector	Pointer to a vector handle.
pPoint	Pointer to a POINT structure that contains the point to test.
pObject	Pointer to a VECTOROBJECT structure to be updated with the object found under the specified point, if one exists.

Returns

SUCCESS	The function was successful and an object was copied into pObject.
ERROR_VECTOR_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND	No object was found under the specified point.
< 1	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

This function will copy the first object under the specified physical point into pObject.

To set the options to use when performing the hit test, call L_VecSetHitTest.

Camera, view port, rotation, translation and scaling are all considered when determining whether or not an object is under the specified point.
