GreCreateRectRegion

From EDM2

GreCreateRectRegion creates a region by taking the OR of a series of rectangles. When no rectangles are specified (that is, cRect is 0), an empty region is created. If COM_TRANSFORM is not set, the function expects the points to be in device coordinates.

This function can be hooked by the presentation driver.

Simulation support
This function is simulated by a handling routine in the graphics engine.

Syntax

GreCreateRectRegion(hdc, paRegion, cRect, pInstance, lFunction)

Parameters

hdc (HDC) - input
Device context handle.
paRegion (PRECT) - input
Pointer to the region definition.
This is a pointer to an array of rectangle structures, which defines the region. Each rectangle is described by a RECTL structure.
cRect (LONG) - input
Number of rectangles in the region definition.
If this is 0, an empty region is created.
pInstance (PVOID) - input
Pointer to instance data.
lFunction (ULONG) - input
High-order WORD=flags; low-order WORD=NGreCreateRectRegion.

Returns

rc (HRGN) - returns
Return codes.
On completion, the handling routine returns the region handle (hrgn), or RGN_ERROR if an error occurred.
Possible Errors Detected: When an error is detected, the handling routine must call WinSetErrorInfo to post the condition. Error codes for conditions that the handling routine is expected to check include:
  • PMERR_INSUFFICIENT_MEMORY
  • PMERR_INV_COORDINATE
  • PMERR_INV_HRGN
  • PMERR_INV_LENGTH_OR_COUNT
  • PMERR_INV_RECT
