Rectangle Operations
The Microsoft® Win32® application programming interface (API) provides several functions for
working with rectangles.
The SetRect function creates a rectangle, the CopyRect function makes a copy of a given rectangle, and the SetRectEmpty function creates an empty rectangle. An empty rectangle is any rectangle that
has zero width, zero height, or both. The IsRectEmpty function determines whether a given rectangle is empty. The EqualRect function determines whether two rectangles are identical  that is, whether they have the same coordinates.
The InflateRect function increases or decreases the width or height of a rectangle, or both.
It can add or remove width from both ends of the rectangle; it can add or
remove height from both the top and bottom of the rectangle.
The OffsetRect function moves a rectangle by a given amount. It moves the rectangle by
adding the given x-amount, y-amount, or x- and y-amounts to the corner coordinates.
The PtInRect function determines whether a given point lies within a given rectangle. The
point is in the rectangle if it lies on the left or top side or is completely
within the rectangle. The point is not in the rectangle if it lies on the right
or bottom side.
The IntersectRect function creates a new rectangle that is the intersection of two existing
rectangles, as shown in the following figure.
The UnionRect function creates a new rectangle that is the union of two existing
rectangles, as shown in the following figure.
For information about functions that draw ellipses and polygons, see Filled Shapes.

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 » |
