LVectorBase::AttachToWindow

#include "ltwrappr.h"

virtual L_INT LVectorBase::AttachToWindow(hWnd, dwFlags=VECTOR_ENGINE_DOUBLEBUFFER)

HWND hWnd;	/* window handle */
L_UINT32 dwFlags;	/* flags */

Attaches a vector handle to a window.

Parameter	Description
hWnd	Handle of the window to which the vector handle will be attached.
dwFlags	Flags that modify the vector engine. Possible values are:
	Value	Meaning
	VECTOR_ENGINE_DOUBLEBUFFER	Use double buffering for flicker-free screen updates.

Returns

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

Comments

This function will attach a vector handle to a window handle. All subsequent changes to the vector image will be reflected on the window.

Note: When you copy one vector to another using LVectorBase::Copy, and the source vector is attached to a window, the destination vector will NOT be attached to the same window automatically.

You can draw on the surface of any window using LVectorBase::Paint, but to use double buffering, you must attach the vector handle to a window.
