L_PntSetClipRgn

#include "LtPnt.h"

L_LTPNT_API L_INT L_PntSetClipRgn(pPaint, hClipRgn)

Sets the current clipping region for the toolkit.

Parameters

pPAINTHANDLE pPaint

Pointer to a paint handle.

L_HRGN hClipRgn

A handle to the region to be used to clip the painting output. If this parameter is NULL, there is no clipping region.

Returns

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

Comments

This function creates a copy of the specified region and uses it to clip the painting output. The toolkit will use the region as it is, without doing any transformations.

If a bitmap has been set using the L_PntSetMetrics function, the toolkit will perform any necessary clipping, draw to the bitmap, and finally draw the resulting bitmap to the specified device context.
