GreCharRect

GreCharRect draws a rectangle of character cells from the LVB to the device context. The attributes for each character are applied by the handling routine as the character is drawn.

Simulation support

This function is mandatory for display drivers. For other drivers, it is simulated by a handling routine in the graphics engine.

Syntax

GreCharRect(hdc, pVioPS, pCharRect, pInstance, lFunction)

Parameters

hdc (HDC) - input

The device context handle.

pVioPS (VioPresentationSpace *) - input

A pointer to the Vio presentation space.

pCharRect (LPGridRectRef) - input

A pointer to a parameter block. This is a GridRectRef structure:

• StartRow The starting row (relative to the bottom left of the LVB) of the character rectangle to be drawn
• StartCol The starting column (relative to the bottom left of the LVB) of the character rectangle to be drawn
• RectWidth The width in character cells of the rectangle to be updated
• RectHeight The height of the rectangle to be updated

pInstance (PVOID) - input

A pointer to instance data.

lFunction (ULONG) - input

High-order WORD=flags; low-order WORD=NGreCharRect.

Returns

rc (LONG) - returns

Return codes.

This function returns a LONG value as an error indicator.

• NO_ERROR Successful.
• CE_INVALID_PRESENTATION_SPACE Error. For example, this message might be returned as a result of an invalid CellByteSize.

Remarks

This function is used to implement the advanced Vio function, VioSetOrg.
