LChange::ChangeFromWMF

Summary

Changes a Windows metafile (WMF) into a LEAD Technologies bitmap and, if successful, frees the metafile.

Syntax

#include "ltwrappr.h"

static L_INT LChange::ChangeFromWMF(pLBitmap, uStructSize, hWmf, uWidth, uHeight)

Parameters

LBitmapBase * pLBitmap

Pointer to the bitmap object to be updated with the changed file.

L_UINT uStructSize

Size in bytes, of the structure pointed to by pLBitmap. Use sizeof(BITMAPHANDLE).

HMETAFILE hWmf

Handle to the WMF to be changed.

L_UINT uWidth

Amount by which to scale the metafiles original width.

L_UINT uHeight

Amount by which to scale the metafiles original height.

Returns

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

Comments

If this function is successful, hWmf is freed.

The metafile can be loaded at the original dimension or scaled by using the uWidth and uHeight parameters.

If uWidth == 0 and uHeight == 0 - the metafile is loaded at the size present in the file.

If uWidth == 0 and uHeight > 0 - the metafile is stretched so that it has the height uHeight (preserving the aspect ratio).

If uWidth > 0 and uHeight == 0 - the metafile is stretched so that it has the width uWidth (preserving the aspect ratio).

If uWidth > 0 and uHeight > 0 - the metafile is stretched so that it has the width uWidth and height uHeight (the aspect ratio is ignored).

Example

This example loads a bitmap, converts it to a WMF, then converts the WMF back to a bitmap.

L_INT LChange__ChangeFromWMFExample(LBitmap LeadBitmap) 
{ 
   L_INT nRet; 
   HMETAFILE   hWmf;  
   LBitmap Tmpbitmap; 
 
   /* Load a bitmap, keeping its own bits per pixel */ 
   nRet = Tmpbitmap.Load(MAKE_IMAGE_PATH(TEXT("ImageProcessingDemo\\Image3.cmp")), 0, ORDER_BGR, NULL, NULL);  
   if(nRet != SUCCESS) 
      return nRet; 
 
   /* Convert the initial bitmap to a WMF */ 
   hWmf = LChange::ChangeToWMF( &Tmpbitmap );  
 
   /* Convert the WMF to create a new LEAD bitmap and preserve the size */ 
   LChange::ChangeFromWMF(&LeadBitmap, sizeof(BITMAPHANDLE), hWmf, 0, 0);  
 
   return SUCCESS; 
}
