Errors

Possible returns from WinGetLastError:

PMERR_INV_HPS (0x207F)
An invalid presentation-space handle was specified.
PMERR_PS_BUSY (0x20F4)
An attempt was made to access the presentation space from more than one thread simultaneously.
PMERR_INV_IN_RETAIN_MODE (0x208C)
An attempt was made to issue a function (for example, query) that is invalid when the actual drawing mode is not draw or draw-and-retain.

Example Code

#define INCL_GPIPRIMITIVES /* Or use INCL_GPI, INCL_PM, */
#include <os2.h>

HPS     hps;       /* Presentation-space handle. */
LONG    lLineType; /* Line type. */

lLineType = GpiQueryLineType(hps);

This example uses GpiQueryLineType to return the current cosmetic line-type attribute after setting the draw mode to DRAW.

#define INCL_GPIPRIMITIVES /* Primitive functions */
#define INCL_GPICONTROL /* Control functions */
#include <os2.h>

HPS hps; /* Presentation-space handle */
LONG lLineType; /* Line type */

if (GpiSetDrawingMode(hps, DM_DRAW) == TRUE)
  lLineType = GpiQueryLineType(hps);
