The CopyEnhMetaFile function copies the contents of an enhanced-format metafile to a specified file.

HENHMETAFILE CopyEnhMetaFile(

HENHMETAFILE hemfSrc,	// handle to an enhanced metafile
LPCTSTR lpszFile	// pointer to a filename string
);

Parameters
hemfSrc

Identifies the source-enhanced metafile.

lpszFile

Points to the name of the destination file. If this parameter is NULL, the source metafile is copied to memory.

Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is a handle to the copy of the enhanced metafile.

If the function fails, the return value is NULL. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks
Where text arguments must use Unicode characters, use the CopyEnhMetaFile function as a wide-character function. Where text arguments must use characters from the Windows 3.x character set, use this function as an ANSI function.

Applications can use metafiles stored in memory for temporary operations.

When the application no longer needs the enhanced-metafile handle, it should delete the handle by calling the DeleteEnhMetaFile function.
