SetPenMiscInfo
- 0 2.0
Sets constants pertaining to the pen system.
LONG SetPenMiscInfo( UINT wParam, LPARAM lParam )
Parameters
wParam
Specifies the identifier of the pen system measurement to set. The identifier
must be a PMI_ value, and may be combined with PMI_SAVE (to force an immediate
initialization file update) using the bitwise-OR operator for some values. See
the following table for the possible PMI_ values in wParam.
lParam
Specifies the value of the pen system measurement to set. Depending on the
value of wParam (listed in the first column of the table below), lParam can be the address of a structure or a value, as described here:
wParam constant
| lParam description
| PMI_BEDIT
| lParam is the address of a BOXEDITINFO structure.
| PMI_ENABLEFLAGS
| lParam is a WORD value.
| PMI_PENTIP
| lParam is the address of a PENTIP structure.
| PMI_TIMEOUT
| lParam is a UINT value.
| PMI_TIMEOUTGEST
| lParam is a UINT value.
| PMI_TIMEOUTSEL
| lParam is a UINT value.
|
Return Value
Returns PMIR_OK if successful; otherwise, returns one of the following
negative error values:
Constant
| Description
| PMIR_INDEX
| wParam is out of range.
| PMIR_INIERROR
| Error writing to PENWIN.INI file.
| PMIR_INVALIDBOXEDITINFO
| BOXEDITINFO structure is invalid.
| PMIR_NA
| Support for this value of wParam is not available.
| PMIR_VALUE
| lParam is invalid.
|
Comments
The type of information SetPenMiscInfo sets depends on wParam. The function is provided for system applications such as Control Panel. User
applications should not generally call SetPenMiscInfo.
A WM_PENMISCINFO message is posted to all top-level windows whenever SetPenMiscInfo successfully changes a setting, forwarding the value for wParam. In the case of PMI_BEDIT, a WM_PENMISC message is also broadcast to ensure
compatibility with version 1.0 of the Pen API. The wParam is set to PMSC_BEDITCHANGE and lParam is a far pointer to a BOXEDITINFO structure.
SetPenMiscInfo cannot set all the values available in GetPenMiscInfo because certain values are determined by the system. These values are
PMI_SYSREC, PMI_CXTABLET, PMI_CYTABLET, PMI_SYSFLAGS, PMI_TICKREF, PMI_INDEXFROMRGB,
and PMI_RGBFROMINDEX.
The flag PMI_SAVE can be combined with the wParam identifier for the following values: PMI_BEDIT, PMI_ENABLEFLAGS, PMI_PENTIP,
PMI_TIMEOUT, PMI_TIMEOUTGEST, and PMI_TIMEOUTSEL. This forces Windows to
immediately update its initialization information.
Example
The following code sample changes the pen color to red and the time out to a
half second (500 milliseconds), then forces a save-file update:
PENTIP tip;
GetPenMiscInfo( PMI_PENTIP, (LPARAM)(LPPENTIP) &tip );
tip.rgb = RGB(255, 0, 0);
SetPenMiscInfo( PMI_PENTIP, (LPARAM)(LPPENTIP) &tip );
SetPenMiscInfo( PMI_TIMEOUT | PMI_SAVE, (LPARAM)500 );

.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. Net classes. More » |
