L_LVKRN_API L_INT L_VecAttachToWindow(hWnd, pVector, dwFlags)
Attaches a vector handle to a window.
Handle of the window to which the vector handle will be attached.
Pointer to a vector handle that will be attached to the window specified in hWnd.
Flags that modify the vector engine. Possible values are:
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| VECTOR_ENGINE_DOUBLEBUFFER | Use double buffering for flicker-free screen updates. |
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| SUCCESS | The function was successful. |
| < 1 | An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes. |
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 L_VecCopy, 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 L_VecPaint, but to use double buffering, you must attach the vector handle to a window.

This example will assign a window handle to a vector handle.
