Example

This example shows the minimum requirements for using the L_EfxPatternFillRect
function to draw and fill a rectangle with a pattern and color.

L_INT EfxPatternFillRectExample(HWND    hWnd,RECT*   pDest) 
{ 
  L_INT nRet; 
  HDC       hdc;                    /* Device context for the current window */ 
  HPALETTE  hSavedPalette = NULL;   /* Temporary copy of the current system palette */ 
  HPALETTE  hOurPalette = NULL;     /* The palette that we will use to paint */ 
  L_INT     nBitsPerPixel; 
 
  /* Get the device context */ 
  hdc = GetDC (hWnd); 
  /* Check the device to see if we need a palette */ 
  nBitsPerPixel = GetDeviceCaps( hdc, BITSPIXEL ) * GetDeviceCaps ( hdc, PLANES ); 
  if ( nBitsPerPixel <=8 ) 
  { 
    hOurPalette = (HPALETTE)GetStockObject (DEFAULT_PALETTE); 
    hSavedPalette = SelectPalette (hdc, hOurPalette, FALSE); 
    /* Realize our palette */ 
    RealizePalette (hdc);  
  } 
  /* Draw the pattern filled rectangle */ 
  nRet = L_EfxPatternFillRect (hdc,                    /* device context */ 
                               pDest,                  /* destination rectangle */ 
                               EFX_PATTERN_DIAG_CROSS, /* diagonal cross pattern */ 
                               RGB ( 0,0,0 ),          /* background color, black */ 
                               RGB ( 0,0,255 ) );      /* foreground color, blue */ 
  if(nRet != SUCCESS) 
     return nRet; 
 
  /* Restore the old palette */ 
  if  ( hOurPalette ) 
    SelectPalette (hdc, hSavedPalette, FALSE); 
  /* Release the device context */ 
  ReleaseDC(hWnd, hdc); 
   return SUCCESS;
