GreFillPath

Simulation support

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

GreFillPath fills the interior of the closed figure defined in the path by using the current pattern attributes. Before filling the path, the handling routine must close any open figures in the path definition. On completion, it must delete the path. All of the boundaries of the area are considered to be part of the interior and are filled.

This function can be hooked by the presentation driver.

Syntax

GreFillPath(hdc, idPath, flOptions, pInstance, lFunction)

Parameters

hdc (HDC) - input

Device context handle.

idPath (LONG) - input

Path ID. It must be 1.

flOptions (ULONG) - input

Option flags.

These flags determine how the path is to be filled:

FPATH_ALTERNATE Fill is performed by using the odd/even (alternate) rule.

FPATH_WINDING Fill is performed by using the winding rule.

FPATH_EXCL Fill exclusive of bottom and right border in device coordinate.

pInstance (PVOID) - input

Pointer to instance data.

lFunction (ULONG) - input

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

Return Code

rc (LONG) - returns

Return codes.

This function returns an integer (cHits) indicating, where appropriate, whether correlation hits were detected:

GPI_OK Successful

GPI_HITS Successful with correlate hit (returned by display drivers when the correlate flag is ON, and a hit is detected)

GPI_ERROR Error

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_BASE_ERROR
• PMERR_BITMAP_NOT_SELECTED
• PMERR_COORDINATE_OVERFLOW
• PMERR_DEV_FUNC_NOT_INSTALLED
• PMERR_HDC_BUSY
• PMERR_HRGN_BUSY
• PMERR_INSUFFICIENT_MEMORY
• PMERR_INV_COLOR_DATA
• PMERR_INV_COLOR_INDEX
• PMERR_INV_COORD_SPACE
• PMERR_INV_COORDINATE
• PMERR_INV_FILL_PATH_OPTIONS
• PMERR_INV_HDC
• PMERR_INV_HRGN
• PMERR_INV_IN_AREA
• PMERR_INV_IN_PATH
• PMERR_INV_LENGTH_OR_COUNT
• PMERR_INV_PATH_ID
• PMERR_INV_PICK_APERTURE_POSN
• PMERR_INV_RECT
• PMERR_INV_REGION_CONTROL
• PMERR_PATH_LIMIT_EXCEEDED
• PMERR_PATH_UNKNOWN
• PMERR_REGION_IS_CLIP_REGION

Refer to the "Error Explanations" section in the Presentation Manager Programming Reference for further explanation.

Remarks

There is an alternate method of filling the interior of closed figures for devices that have their own hardware filling; see GreOutlinePath for more information.
