DrawTextEx
[Now Supported on Windows NT]
The DrawTextEx function draws formatted text in the specified rectangle.
int DrawTextEx(
HDC hdc,
| // handle to device context
| LPTSTR lpchText,
| // pointer to string to draw
| int cchText,
| // length of string to draw
| LPRECT lprc,
| // pointer to rectangle coordinates
| UINT dwDTFormat,
| // formatting options
| LPDRAWTEXTPARAMS lpDTParams
| // pointer to structure for more options
| );
|
|
Parameters
hdc
Identifies the device context to draw in.
lpchText
Points to the string to draw. The string must be null-terminated if the cchText parameter is  1.
cchText
Specifies the length, in characters, of the string specified by the lpchText parameter. If the string is null-terminated, this parameter can be 1 to calculate the length.
lprc
Points to a RECT structure that contains the rectangle, in logical coordinates, in which the
text is to be formatted.
dwDTFormat
Specifies formatting options. This parameter can be one or more of these
values:
Value
| Meaning
| DT_BOTTOM
| Justifies the text to the bottom of the rectangle. This value must be combined
with DT_SINGLELINE.
| DT_CALCRECT
| Determines the width and height of the rectangle. If there are multiple lines
of text, DrawTextEx uses the width of the rectangle pointed to by the lprc parameter and extends the base of the rectangle to bound the last line of
text. If there is only one line of text, DrawTextEx modifies the right side of the rectangle so that it bounds the last character
in the line. In either case, DrawTextEx returns the height of the formatted text, but does not draw the text.
| DT_CENTER
| Centers text horizontally in the rectangle.
| DT_EDITCONTROL
| Duplicates the text-displaying characteristics of a multiline edit control.
Specifically, the average character width is calculated in the same manner as for
an edit control, and the function does not display a partially visible last
line.
| DT_END_ELLIPSIS or DT_PATH_ELLIPSIS
| Replaces part of the given string with ellipses, if necessary, so that the
result fits in the specified rectangle. The given string is not modified unless
the DT_MODIFYSTRING flag is specified.
You can specify DT_END_ELLIPSIS to replace characters at the end of the
string, or DT_PATH_ELLIPSIS to replace characters in the middle of the string. If the
string contains backslash (\) characters, DT_PATH_ELLIPSIS preserves as much
as possible of the text after the last backslash.
| DT_EXPANDTABS
| Expands tab characters. The default number of characters per tab is eight.
| DT_EXTERNALLEADING
| Includes the font external leading in line height. Normally, external leading
is not included in the height of a line of text.
| DT_LEFT
| Aligns text to the left.
| DT_MODIFYSTRING
| Modifies the given string to match the displayed text. This flag has no effect
unless the DT_END_ELLIPSIS or DT_PATH_ELLIPSIS flag is specified.
| DT_NOCLIP
| Draws without clipping. DrawTextEx is somewhat faster when DT_NOCLIP is used.
| DT_NOPREFIX
| Turns off processing of prefix characters. Normally, DrawTextEx interprets the ampersand (&) mnemonic-prefix character as a directive to
underscore the character that follows, and the double ampersand (&&)
mnemonic-prefix characters as a directive to print a single ampersand. By specifying
DT_NOPREFIX, this processing is turned off.
| DT_RIGHT
| Aligns text to the right.
| DT_RTLREADING
| Layout in right to left reading order for bi-directional text when the font
selected into the hdc is a Hebrew or Arabic font. The default reading order for all text is left to
right.
| DT_SINGLELINE
| Displays text on a single line only. Carriage returns and linefeeds do not
break the line.
| DT_TABSTOP
| Sets tab stops. The DRAWTEXTPARAMS structure pointed to by the lpDTParams parameter specifies the number of average character widths per tab stop.
| DT_TOP
| Top justifies text (single line only).
| DT_VCENTER
| Centers text vertically (single line only).
| DT_WORDBREAK
| Breaks words. Lines are automatically broken between words if a word extends
past the edge of the rectangle specified by the lprc parameter. A carriage return-linefeed sequence also breaks the line.
|
dwDTParams
Points to a DRAWTEXTPARAMS structure that specifies additional formatting options. This parameter can be
NULL.
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is the text height.
If the function fails, the return value is zero.

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 » |
