GetPenDataAttributes 

2.0     

Retrieves information about an HPENDATA object.

int GetPenDataAttributes( HPENDATA hpndt, LPVOID lpvBuffer, UINT uOption )

Parameters

hpndt

Handle to the HPENDATA object.

lpvBuffer

Pointer to a structure whose type depends on uOption, or NULL if the uOption parameter does not require this buffer.

uOption

Specifies the attributes to retrieve. This parameter can be one of the following:

Constant

Description

GPA_MAXLEN

Retrieves the length (in points) of the longest stroke. lpvBuffer is unused and ignored.

GPA_POINTS

Retrieves the total number of points. lpvBuffer is unused and ignored.

GPA_PDTS

Retrieves the PDTS_ bits. lpvBuffer is unused and ignored.

GPA_RATE

Retrieves the sampling rate in samples per second. lpvBuffer is unused and ignored.

GPA_RECTBOUND

Retrieves the bounding rectangle of all pen-down points. lpvBuffer is the address of a RECTEZENA2 structure.

GPA_RECTBOUNDINK

Like GPA_RECTBOUND, retrieves the bounding rectangle of all pen-down points, but inflates the rectangle to accommodate ink width. lpvBuffer is the address of a RECTEZENA2 structure.

GPA_SIZE

Retrieves the size of the pen data memory block in bytes. Because of the potential large size of this value, the return value of the function is not used. Instead, lpvBuffer is the address of a DWORD variable to fill with the size.

GPA_STROKES

Retrieves the total number of strokes, including pen-up strokes. lpvBuffer is unused and ignored.

GPA_TIME

Retrieves the absolute time of creation of the pen data. lpvBuffer is the address of an ABSTIME1AOCV. structure.

GPA_USER

Retrieves the number of user bytes available per stroke: 0, 1, 2, or 4. lpvBuffer is unused and ignored.

GPA_VERSION

Retrieves the version number of the pen data. lpvBuffer is unused and ignored.

 

Return Value

Returns PDR_OK or an integer value if successful, depending on the uOption parameter.

Comments

GetPenDataAttributes provides enhancements of some of the capabilities of GetPenDataInfo232HAHC. It also provides additional detailed information taken from the HPENDATA block.
