This section contains a code sample that enables the user to select a font of a particular point size (by using the Choose Font dialog box), select a clip path (by using text drawn with this font), and then view the result of clipping to the text.

This code sample was used to create the illustration that appears in Clip Paths.

RECT rc; /* rect structure for painting window */

SIZE sz; /* structure that receives text extents */

double aflSin[90]; /* sine of 0-90 degrees */

double aflCos[90]; /* cosine of 0-90 degrees */

double flRadius,a; /* radius of circle */

    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 »
