ExtEscape
The ExtEscape function allows applications to access capabilities of a particular device
that are not available through GDI.
int ExtEscape(
HDC hdc,
| // handle to device context
| int nEscape,
| // escape function
| int cbInput,
| // number of bytes in input structure
| LPCSTR lpszInData,
| // pointer to input structure
| int cbOutput,
| // number of bytes in output structure
| LPSTR lpszOutData
| // pointer to output structure
| );
|
|
Parameters
hdc
Identifies the device context.
nEscape
Specifies the escape function to be performed.
cbInput
Specifies the number of bytes of data pointed to by the lpszInData parameter.
lpszInData
Points to the input structure required for the specified escape.
cbOutput
Specifies the number of bytes of data pointed to by the lpszOutData parameter.
lpszOutData
Points to the structure that receives output from this escape. This parameter
must not be NULL if ExtEscape is called as a query function. If no data is to be returned in this
structure, set cbOutput to 0.
Return Values
The return value specifies the outcome of the function. It is greater than
zero if the function is successful, except for the QUERYESCSUPPORT printer escape,
which checks for implementation only. The return value is zero if the escape
is not implemented. A return value less than zero indicates an error. To get
extended error information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
Use this function to pass a driver-defined escape value to a device.
Use the Escape function to pass one of the escape values defined by Windows to a device. ExtEscape might not work properly with the escapes defined by Windows. In particular,
escapes in which lpszInData points to a structure that contains a member that is a pointer will fail.

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 » |
