GetRgnHandle example for Visual Basic

Note: Also works with Access 95 and 97.

The following code creates a region, saves its handle and adds the saved region beside the current region.

'Declare local variables.
Dim OffsetX, OffsetY
Dim SavedRegion As Long

'Initialize the variables that we will manipulate to simulate mouse coordinates.
OffsetX = Lead1.BitmapWidth / 8
OffsetY = Lead1.BitmapHeight / 6

'Create an elliptical region.
Lead1.SetRgnEllipse OffsetX, OffsetY, OffsetX, OffsetY, L_RGN_SET

'Save a copy of the region.
SavedRegion = Lead1.GetRgnHandle

'Add the saved region to the bitmap, offsetting it so that we can see it.
Lead1.SetRgnHandle SavedRegion, OffsetX, OffsetY, L_RGN_OR

'Delete the saved region.
Lead1.DeleteRgnHandle SavedRegion

'Fill the bitmap region with blue.
Lead1.Fill RGB(0, 0, 255)

'Free the bitmap region.
Lead1.FreeRgn

'Repaint the image so that we can see how the image was updated.
Lead1.ForceRepaint
