WinFillRect

This function draws a filled rectangular area.

Syntax

WinFillRect(hps, prcl, lColor)

Parameters

hps (HPS) - Input

Presentation-space handle.

This can be either a micro-presentation space or a normal presentation space.

prcl (PRECTL) - Input

Rectangle to be filled, in window coordinates.

Points on the left and bottom boundaries of the rectangle are included in the fill, but points on the right and top boundaries are not, except where they are also on the left and bottom boundaries; that is, the top-left and bottom-right corners.

Note: The value of each field in this structure must be in the range -32 768 through 32 767. The data type WRECT can also be used, if supported by the language.

lColor (LONG) - Input: Color with which to fill the rectangle.; This is either a color index, or an RGB color value, depending upon whether and how a logical color table has been loaded. (See &osq.GpiCreateLogColorTable&osq. in the Graphics Programming Interface Programming Reference.)

Returns

rc (BOOL) - returns

Success indicator.

TRUE: Successful completion
FALSE: Error occurred.

Remarks

This function does not change any presentation space state. This function must only be used in draw mode (DM_DRAW) to a screen device context. If an empty rectangle is specified, this function draws nothing and completes successfully (that is, TRUE is returned).

Example Code

#define INCL_WINWINDOWMGR /* Or use INCL_WIN, INCL_PM, Also in COMMON section */
#include <os2.h>

HPS       hps;     /*  Presentation-space handle. */
PRECTL    prcl;    /*  Rectangle to be filled, in window coordinates. */
LONG      lColor;  /*  Color with which to fill the rectangle. */
BOOL      rc;      /*  Success indicator. */

rc = WinFillRect(hps, prcl, lColor);

This example fills an update rectangle with a white background in response to the WM_PAINT message, after obtaining a presentation space handle via WinBeginPaint.

#define INCL_WINWINDOWMGR       /* Window Manager Functions     */
#include <os2.h>

BOOL  fSuccess;         /* success indicator                    */
HAB     hab;            /* anchor-block handle                  */
PRECTL prclRect1 = {0,0,100,100}; /* fill rectangle              */
LONG  lColor=CLR_WHITE; /* fill color                           */
HWND   hwnd;            /* client window handle                 */
HPS    hps;             /* presentation-space handle            */

case WM_PAINT:
     hps = WinBeginPaint(hwnd, NULLHANDLE, &prclRect1);
     fSuccess = WinFillRect(hps, &prclRect1, lColor);
     WinEndPaint(hps);
