DdfText
This function adds text to the DDF buffer.
Syntax
DdfText(hddf, pszText)
Parameters
- hddf (HDDF) - input
- Handle to DDF returned by DdfInitialize.
- pszText (PCSZ) - input
- Pointer to the text buffer to be formatted.
- rc (BOOL) - returns
- Success indicator.
Returns
- rc (BOOL) - returns
- Success indicator.
- TRUE Successful completion
- FALSE Error occurred
Remarks
There is a 3-byte ESC code overhead in the DDF internal buffer for each word in the text buffer. There is a 1-byte ESC code overhead for each blank and for each newline character.
Example Code
Declaration:
#define INCL_DDF #include <os2.h> HDDF hddf; /* Handle to DDF returned by DdfInitialize. */ PCSZ pszText; /* Pointer to the text buffer to be formatted. */ BOOL rc; /* Success indicator. */ rc = DdfText(hddf, pszText);
After initializing a DDF buffer with DdfInitialize, this example uses `DdfPara` to start a new paragraph, `DdfSetFont` and `DdfSetFontStyle` to display text in a large, bold Courier font, `DdfSetColor` to change the text color, and `DdfText` to place text in the buffer.
For a more detailed example and discussion of initializing DDF, see the DdfInitialize sample.
