GetStockObject
The GetStockObject function retrieves a handle to one of the predefined stock pens, brushes,
fonts, or palettes.
HGDIOBJ GetStockObject(
int fnObject
| // type of stock object
| );
|
|
Parameters
fnObject
Specifies the type of stock object. This parameter can be any one of the
following values:
Value
| Meaning
| BLACK_BRUSH
| Black brush.
| DKGRAY_BRUSH
| Dark gray brush.
| GRAY_BRUSH
| Gray brush.
| HOLLOW_BRUSH
| Hollow brush (equivalent to NULL_BRUSH).
| LTGRAY_BRUSH
| Light gray brush.
| NULL_BRUSH
| Null brush (equivalent to HOLLOW_BRUSH).
| WHITE_BRUSH
| White brush.
| BLACK_PEN
| Black pen.
| NULL_PEN
| Null pen.
| WHITE_PEN
| White pen.
| ANSI_FIXED_FONT
| Windows fixed-pitch (monospace) system font.
| ANSI_VAR_FONT
| Windows variable-pitch (proportional space) system font.
| DEVICE_DEFAULT_FONT
| Windows NT only: Device-dependent font.
| DEFAULT_GUI_FONT
| Windows 95 only: Default font for user interface objects such as menus and dialog boxes.
| OEM_FIXED_FONT
| Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) dependent fixed-pitch (monospace) font.
| SYSTEM_FONT
| System font. By default, Windows uses the system font to draw menus, dialog
box controls, and text. In Windows versions 3.0 and later, the system font is a
proportionally spaced font; earlier versions of Windows used a monospace system
font.
| SYSTEM_FIXED_FONT
| Fixed-pitch (monospace) system font used in Windows versions earlier than 3.0.
This stock object is provided for compatibility with earlier versions of
Windows.
| DEFAULT_PALETTE
| Default palette. This palette consists of the static colors in the system
palette.
|
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value identifies the logical object
requested.
If the function fails, the return value is NULL.
Remarks
Use the DKGRAY_BRUSH, GRAY_BRUSH, and LTGRAY_BRUSH stock objects only in
windows with the CS_HREDRAW and CS_VREDRAW styles. Using a gray stock brush in any
other style of window can lead to misalignment of brush patterns after a window
is moved or sized. The origins of stock brushes cannot be adjusted.
The HOLLOW_BRUSH and NULL_BRUSH stock objects are equivalent.
The font used by the DEFAULT_GUI_FONT stock object could change. Use this
stock object when you want to use the font that menus, dialog boxes, and other user
interface objects use.
It is not necessary (but it is not harmful) to delete stock objects by calling DeleteObject.

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 » |
