GetEnhMetaFile
The GetEnhMetaFile
function creates a handle that identifies the enhanced-format metafile stored
in the specified file.
HENHMETAFILE GetEnhMetaFile(
|
LPCTSTR lpszMetaFile |
// address of
metafile name |
|
); |
|
Parameters
lpszMetaFile
Points to the
null-terminated string that specifies the name of an enhanced metafile.
Return Values
If the
function succeeds, the return value is a handle of the enhanced metafile.
If the
function fails, the return value is NULL.
Remarks
When the
application no longer needs an enhanced-metafile handle, it should delete the
handle by calling the DeleteEnhMetaFile function.
A
Windows-format metafile must be converted to the enhanced format before it can
be processed by the GetEnhMetaFile function. To convert the file, use
the SetWinMetaFileBits function.
Where text
arguments must use Unicode characters, use this function as a wide-character
function. Where text arguments must use characters from the Windows 3.x
character set, use this function as an ANSI function.
Windows
95: The maximum length of the
description string for an enhanced metafile is 16,384 bytes.
