STRKFMT

Provides a method for retrieving or changing the attributes of specified strokes in an iedit control. This structure is used by the IE_GETFORMAT and IE_SETFORMAT messages.

typedef struct {

DWORD cbSize;

UINT iesf;

UINT iStrk;

PENTIP tip;

DWORD dwUser;

DWORD dwReserved;

} STRKFMT;

Members
cbSize

Size of this structure in bytes.

iesf

Stroke format flags. Note that the first three flags cannot be combined with each other by the bitwise OR operator:

Constant	Description
IESF_ALL	Assume all strokes in the control.
IESF_SELECTION	Assume all selected strokes.
IESF_STROKE	Assume the stroke specified in the iStrk member, described in "Comments" section.
IESF_PENTIP	Set both pen tip color and width.
IESF_TIPCOLOR	Set only pen tip color.
IESF_TIPWIDTH	Set only pen tip width.

iStrk

Index of a specific stroke.

tip

PENTIP structure, containing ink tip attributes.

dwUser

User data for stroke.

dwReserved

Reserved.

Comments
When sending either IE_GETFORMAT or IE_SETFORMAT, the application initializes the iesf member with bit flags, indicating:

The strokes in the iedit control to which the IE_ messages refer.
The attributes (color and/or width) of those strokes.

Setting the IESF_STROKE bit flag in iesf limits action to the single stroke identified in iStrk. Setting IESF_SELECTION references all selected strokes. Setting IESF_ALL references all strokes in the control. These flags are mutually exclusive and cannot be combined.

The application must also set the bit flags IESF_TIPCOLOR or IESF_TIPWIDTH in the iesf member of the structure. These bit flags identify the stroke attribute to which the IE_ messages refer. For convenience, the defined value IESF_PENTIP combines IESF_TIPCOLOR and IESF_TIPWIDTH to identify both color and width.

With these bit flags, an application can alter stroke color and width at the same time or alter only one attribute while leaving the other unchanged.

Sending an IE_GETFORMAT message to the control produces the following results:

If the requested strokes have the same color and width, the returned STRKFMT contains the common color and width in the rgb and bwidth members of its PENTIP structure. The return value from IE_GETFORMAT is 0.
If the requested strokes do not all share the same attribute, the returned STRKFMT contains the attribute of the last stroke in the group. The return value from IE_GETFORMAT contains the bit flags IESF_TIPCOLOR and/or IESF_TIPWIDTH to indicate the attribute in which the strokes differ.

Before using STRKFMT, an application must initialize cbSize with sizeof( STRKFMT ).

    Nostalgia .Net     .Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native.
