GetOutlineTextMetrics
The GetOutlineTextMetrics function retrieves text metrics for TrueType fonts.
UINT GetOutlineTextMetrics(
HDC hdc,
| // handle of device context
| UINT cbData,
| // size of metric data array
| LPOUTLINETEXTMETRIC lpOTM
| // address of metric data array
| );
|
|
Parameters
hdc
Identifies the device context.
cbData
Specifies the size, in bytes, of the array in which the text metrics are to be
returned.
lpOTM
Points to an array of OUTLINETEXTMETRIC structures. If this parameter is NULL, the function returns the size of the
buffer required for the retrieved metric data.
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is TRUE or the size of the required
buffer.
If the function fails, the return value is FALSE. To get extended error
information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
The OUTLINETEXTMETRIC structure contains most of the text metric information provided for TrueType
fonts (including a TEXTMETRIC structure). The sizes returned in the OUTLINETEXTMETRIC structures are in logical units; they depend on the current mapping mode.

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 » |
