nativeint

A handle to a device context.

Font

The Font this method creates.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

The font for the specified device context is not a TrueType font.

For this method to work, the hdc parameter must contain a handle to a device context in which a font is selected. This method will not work with an hdc handle acquired from a GDI+ Graphics object because the hdc handle does not have a font selected.
