This function returns the current value of the viewing limits, as set by the GpiSetViewingLimits function.

Syntax

GpiQueryViewingLimits (hps, prclLimits)

Parameters

hps (HPS) - input

Presentation-space handle.

prclLimits (PRECTL) - output

Return Code

rc (BOOL) - returns

Success indicator.

• TRUE Successful completion
• FALSE Error occurred.

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.

PMERR_INV_DC_TYPE (0x2060)

Example Code

In this example the model space clipping region width is reduced to 100 if it is greater.

#define INCL_GPITRANSFORMS
#include <OS2.H>

HPS hps;          /* Presentation-space */
                  /* handle. */
RECTL rclLimits;  /* viewing limits. */
BOOL fSuccess;

fSuccess = GpiQueryViewingLimits(hps, rclLimits);

if ((rclLimits.xRight - rclLimits.xLeft) > 100)
{
  rclLimits.xRight = 100;
  rclLimits.xLeft = 200;
}

fSuccess = GpiSetViewingLimits(hps, &rclLimits);
