// handle to device context
);

Parameters

Remarks

The CancelDC function is used by multithreaded applications to cancel lengthy drawing operations. If thread A initiates a lengthy drawing operation, thread B may cancel that operation by calling this function.

If an operation is canceled, the affected thread returns an error and the result of its drawing operation is undefined. The results are also undefined if no drawing operation was in progress when the function was called.
