   /*Get the device context*/ 
   hDC = GetDC ( hWnd ) ; 
   /* Set the rectangle coordinates with respect to the DC dimensions*/ 
   SetRect ( &rcShapeRect, 10, 10, 100, 100 ) ; 
   /* Set the DC Extents */ 
   RECT rcClient; 
   GetClientRect(hWnd, &rcClient); 
   nRet = L_PntSetDCExtents ( pPaint, &rcClient ); 
   /* Use the default properties for the shape to draw a rectangle*/ 
   nRet = L_PntDrawShapeRectangle ( pPaint, hDC, &rcShapeRect ) ;
