GetPenHwEventData

  1. 0 2.0

Gets the pen data associated with events in a given range.

Note This function is provided only for compatibility with version 1.0 of the Pen API and will not be supported in future versions. Use DoDefaultPenInput or GetPenInput instead.

REC GetPenHwEventData( UINT wEventRefBeg, UINT wEventRefEnd, LPPOINT lppt, LPVOID lpvOemData, int cPntMax, LPSTROKEINFO lpsi )

Parameters

wEventRefBeg

Beginning pen event.

wEventRefEnd

Ending pen event.

lppt

Address of a an array of POINT structures. The size of the array must be at least sizeof( POINT ) multiplied by cPntMax.

lpvOemData

Buffer to fill with OEM-specific data. This can be NULL if no data is required.

cPntMax

Maximum number of samples to return.

lpsi

Address of a STROKEINFO structure that receives the stroke information, including the count of points and point state. Also included is the time stamp of the first point returned in the buffer, which is the number of milliseconds that have elapsed since Windows started.

Return Value

Returns REC_OK if successful; otherwise, the return value can be one of the following:

Constant
Description
REC_BUFFERTOOSMALL
The array identified by lppt is not large enough to hold all the points requested.
REC_PARAMERROR
Invalid parameter.

Comments

This function fetches all data collected from the pen event wEventRefBeg up to but not including the pen event wEventRefEnd. If wEventRefBeg equals wEventRefEnd, GetPenHwEventData retrieves the single pen event associated with wEventRefBeg.

The values for wEventRefBeg and wEventRefEnd are obtained by calling the Windows GetMessageExtraInfo function.

This function can be called directly from an application. If it returns REC_BUFFERTOOSMALL, no data is returned and the cPnt member of lpsi contains the number of points between wEventRefBeg and wEventRefEnd. If REC_OK is returned, the cPnt member contains the number of valid points placed in the array at lppt.
