UINT edge,
// type of inner and outer edge to draw
UINT grfFlags
// type of border
);

Parameters

hdc

Identifies the device context.

  • rc

Points to a RECT structure that contains the logical coordinates of the rectangle.edge

Specifies the type of inner and outer edge to draw. This parameter must be a combination of one inner-border flag and one outer-border flag. The inner-border flags are as follows:

Value
Meaning
BDR_RAISEDINNER
Raised inner edge.
BDR_SUNKENINNER
Sunken inner edge.

The outer-border flags are as follows:

Value
Meaning
BDR_RAISEDOUTER
Raised outer edge.
BDR_SUNKENOUTER
Sunken outer edge.

Alternatively, the edge parameter can specify one of the following flags:

Value
Meaning
EDGE_BUMP
Combination of BDR_RAISEDOUTER and BDR_SUNKENINNER.
EDGE_ETCHED
Combination of BDR_SUNKENOUTER and BDR_RAISEDINNER.
EDGE_RAISED
Combination of BDR_RAISEDOUTER and BDR_RAISEDINNER.
EDGE_SUNKEN

BF_DIAGONAL_ENDBOTTOMRIGHT
Diagonal border. The end point is the bottom-right corner of the rectangle; the origin is top-left corner.
BF_DIAGONAL_ENDTOPLEFT
Diagonal border. The end point is the top-left corner of the rectangle; the origin is bottom-right corner.
BF_DIAGONAL_ENDTOPRIGHT
Diagonal border. The end point is the top-right corner of the rectangle; the origin is bottom-left corner.
BF_FLAT
Flat border.
BF_LEFT
Left side of border rectangle.
BF_MIDDLE
Interior of rectangle to be filled.
BF_MONO
