SetMetaFileBitsEx
The SetMetaFileBitsEx
function creates a memory-based Windows-format metafile from the supplied data.
This function
is provided for compatibility with earlier versions of Microsoft Windows.
Win32-based applications should use the SetEnhMetaFileBits function.
HMETAFILE SetMetaFileBitsEx(
|
UINT nSize, |
// size of
Windows-format metafile |
|
CONST BYTE *lpData |
// address of
buffer containing metafile data |
|
); |
|
Parameters
nSize
Specifies the
size, in bytes, of the Windows-format metafile.
lpData
Points to a
buffer that contains the Windows-format metafile. (It is assumed that the data
was obtained by using the GetMetaFileBitsEx function.)
Return Values
If the
function succeeds, the return value is a handle of a memory-based
Windows-format metafile.
If the
function fails, the return value is NULL.
Remarks
A
Windows-format metafile does not support the new curve, path, and
transformation functions such as PolyBezier, BeginPath, and SetWorldTransform. Applications that use
these new functions and use metafiles to store pictures created by these
functions should use the enhanced-format metafile functions.
To convert a
Windows-format metafile into an enhanced-format metafile, use the SetWinMetaFileBits
function.
When the
application no longer needs the metafile handle returned by SetMetaFileBitsEx,
it should delete it by calling the DeleteMetaFile function.
