L_EfxTileRect

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_LTEFX_API L_INT L_EfxTileRect(hdcDest, prcDest, hdcSrc, prcSrc)

Performs a bit-block transfer of the source rectangle of pixels from the specified source device context into a destination device context, while tiling the source to fit the destination.

Parameters

HDC hdcDest

Handle to the target device context.

RECT *prcDest

Pointer to the destination rectangle.

HDC hdcSrc

Handle to the source device context.

RECT *prcSrc

Pointer to the source rectangle.

Returns

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

Comments

Use this function as a replacement for the Windows BitBlt C API function when you want a special painting effect.

If the source rectangle is smaller than the destination rectangle, then the source rectangle will be duplicated (tiled) as many times as necessary to fit the destination rectangle.

For general information, refer to Implementing Special Effects.
