CreateIC
The CreateIC function creates an information context for the specified device. The
information context provides a fast way to get information about the device without
creating a device context.
HDC CreateIC(
LPCTSTR lpszDriver,
| // pointer to string specifying driver name
| LPCTSTR lpszDevice,
| // pointer to string specifying device name
| LPCTSTR lpszOutput,
| // pointer to string specifying port or file name
| CONST DEVMODE *lpdvmInit
| // pointer to optional initialization data
| );
|
|
Parameters
lpszDriver
Points to a null-terminated character string that specifies the name of the
device driver (for example, "Epson").
lpszDevice
Points to a null-terminated character string that specifies the name of the
specific output device being used, as shown by the Print Manager (for example,
"Epson FX-80"). It is not the printer model name. The lpszDevice parameter must be used.
lpszOutput
Points to a null-terminated character string that specifies the file or device
name for the physical output medium (file or output port). This parameter is
ignored; it is present only to keep the function prototype identical with
Windows version 3.1.
lpdvmInit
Points to a DEVMODE structure containing device-specific initialization data for the device
driver. The DocumentProperties function retrieves this structure filled in for a specified device. The lpdvmInit parameter must be NULL if the device driver is to use the default
initialization (if any) specified by the user.
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is the handle to an information
context.
If the function fails, the return value is NULL.
Remarks
An error occurs if an application calls a GDI drawing function and supplies a
handle identifying an information context.
When you no longer need the information device context, call the DeleteDC function to delete it.

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. Net classes. More » |
