LAnnContainer::RestrictCursor

Show in webframe

#include "ltwrappr.h"

virtual L_INT LAnnContainer::RestrictCursor(lpRect, pPoint, prcOldClip, bRestrictClient)

LPRECT lpRect;

/* pointer to a RECT structure */

LPPOINT pPoint;

/* pointer to a POINT structure */

LPRECT prcOldClip;

/* pointer a RECT structure that contains the previous clip rectangle */

L_BOOL bRestrictClient;

/* flag that specifies whether the cursor is restricted to the client window */

Restricts the mouse cursor in conjunction with annotation objects.

Parameter

Description

lpRect

Pointer to a RECT structure that contains the rectangle within which the cursor is restricted.

pPoint

Pointer to a POINT structure that contains the point around which the lpRect rectangle is centered.

prcOldClip

Pointer to a RECT structure that contains the previous clip rectangle.

bRestrictClient

Flag that specifies whether the cursor is restricted to the client window. Possible values are:

 

Value

Meaning

 

TRUE

Restrict the cursor to the client window.

 

FALSE

Do not restrict the cursor to the client window.

Returns

SUCCESS

The function was successful.

< 1

An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

This function is used to restrict the mouse cursor. It should be used when creating custom annotation objects.

Calling this function always restricts the mouse cursor to the annotation container. However, depending on the arguments passed, the mouse cursor can be restricted further .

This function can be used in the following ways:

Example

// Example for LAnnContainer::Convert, LAnnContainer::RestrictCursor

// This example restricts the cursor to 10 pixels on either side

// of the bounding box of the annotation object. For example,

// if the object is a rectangle, the mouse cursor will be restricted

// to an area that is 10 pixels larger than the rectangle.
