GetUpdateRect
The GetUpdateRect function retrieves the coordinates of the smallest rectangle that completely
encloses the update region of the specified window. If the window was created
with the CS_OWNDC style and the mapping mode is not MM_TEXT, GetUpdateRect retrieves the rectangle in logical coordinates. Otherwise, it retrieves the
rectangle in client coordinates. If there is no update region, GetUpdateRect retrieves an empty rectangle (sets all coordinates to zero).
BOOL GetUpdateRect(
HWND hWnd,
| // handle of window
| LPRECT lpRect,
| // address of update rectangle coordinates
| BOOL bErase
| // erase flag
| );
|
|
Parameters
hWnd
Identifies the window with an update region that is to be retrieved.
lpRect
Points to the RECT structure that receives the coordinates of the enclosing rectangle.
An application can set this parameter to NULL to determine whether an update
region exists for the window. If this parameter is NULL, GetUpdateRect returns nonzero if an update region exists, and zero if one does not. This
provides a simple and efficient means of determining whether a WM_PAINT message
resulted from an invalid area.
bErase
Specifies whether the background in the update region is to be erased. If this
parameter is TRUE and the update region is not empty, GetUpdateRect sends a WM_ERASEBKGND message to the specified window to erase the
background.
Return Values
If the update region is not empty, the return value is nonzero.
If there is no update region, the return value is zero.
Remarks
The update rectangle retrieved by the BeginPaint function is identical to that retrieved by GetUpdateRect.
BeginPaint automatically validates the update region, so any call to GetUpdateRect made immediately after the call to BeginPaint retrieves an empty update region.

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 » |
