GreRectVisible

GreRectVisible checks whether any part of the given rectangle is visible within the DC region. The DC region is the intersection of the application clipping and the window clipping.

This function can be hooked by the presentation driver.

Simulation support

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

Syntax

GreRectVisible(hdc, prclRect, pInstance, lFunction)

Parameters

hdc (HDC) - input

Device context handle.

prclRect (PRECTL) - input

Pointer to rectangle in world or screen coordinates. RECTL structure:

• xLeft Minimum x-coordinate of rectangle
• yBottom Minimum y-coordinate
• xRight Maximum x-coordinate of rectangle
• yTop Maximum y-coordinate

pInstance (PVOID) - input

Pointer to instance data.

lFunction (ULONG) - input

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

Return Code

rc (LONG) - returns

Return codes.

This function returns an integer (lVisible) indicating the visibility of the rectangle.

• RVIS_ERROR Error
• RVIS_INVISIBLE Not visible
• RVIS_PARTIAL Partially visible
• RVIS_VISIBLE All visible

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_COORDINATE_OVERFLOW
• PMERR_DEV_FUNC_NOT_INSTALLED
• PMERR_HDC_BUSY
• PMERR_INV_COORD_SPACE
• PMERR_INV_COORDINATE
• PMERR_INV_HDC
• PMERR_INV_LENGTH_OR_COUNT
• PMERR_INV_RECT

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