L_EfxTileRect

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_LTEFX_API L_INT L_EfxTileRect(hdcDest, prcDest, hdcSrc, prcSrc)

HDC hdcDest;	/* handle to the target device context */
RECT *prcDest;	/* pointer to the destination rectangle */
HDC hdcSrc;	/* handle to the source device context */
RECT *prcSrc;	/* pointer to the source rectangle */

Performs a bit-block transfer of the source rectangle of pixels from the specified source device context into a destination device context, while tiling the source to fit the destination.

Parameter	Description
hdcDest	Handle to the target device context.
prcDest	Pointer to the destination rectangle.
hdcSrc	Handle to the source device context.
prcSrc	Pointer to the source rectangle.

Returns

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

Comments

Use this function as a replacement for the Windows BitBlt C DLL function when you want a special painting effect.

If the source rectangle is smaller than the destination rectangle, then the source rectangle will be duplicated (tiled) as many times as necessary to fit the destination rectangle.

For general information, refer to Implementing Special Effects.
