GetKerningPairsW function (wingdi.h)
The GetKerningPairs function retrieves the character-kerning pairs for the currently selected font for the specified device context.
Syntax
DWORD GetKerningPairsW(
[in] HDC hdc,
[in] DWORD nPairs,
[out] LPKERNINGPAIR lpKernPair
);
Parameters
[in] hdc
A handle to the device context.
[in] nPairs
The number of pairs in the lpkrnpair array. If the font has more than nNumPairs kerning pairs, the function returns an error.
[out] lpKernPair
A pointer to an array of KERNINGPAIR structures that receives the kerning pairs. The array must contain at least as many structures as specified by the nNumPairs parameter. If this parameter is NULL, the function returns the total number of kerning pairs for the font.
Return value
If the function succeeds, the return value is the number of kerning pairs returned.
If the function fails, the return value is zero.
Remarks
Note
The wingdi.h header defines GetKerningPairs as an alias which automatically selects the ANSI or Unicode version of this function based on the definition of the UNICODE preprocessor constant. Mixing usage of the encoding-neutral alias with code that not encoding-neutral can lead to mismatches that result in compilation or runtime errors. For more information, see Conventions for Function Prototypes.
