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    lSymbol; /* Marker symbol. */

lSymbol = GpiQueryMarker(hps);

This example uses GpiQueryMarker to return the current marker symbol 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 lSymbol; /* marker symbol */

if (GpiSetDrawingMode(hps, DM_DRAW) == TRUE)
  lSymbol = GpiQueryMarker(hps);
