CreatePen (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/6/2010

This function creates a logical pen that has the specified style, width, and color. The pen can subsequently be selected into a device context and used to draw lines and curves.

Syntax

HPEN CreatePen( 
  int fnPenStyle, 
  int nWidth, 
  COLORREF crColor
);

Parameters

  • fnPenStyle
    [in] Specifies the pen style. It can be any one of the following values.

    Value Description

    PS_SOLID

    Pen is solid.

    PS_DASH

    Pen is dashed.

    This style is valid only when the pen width is one or less in device units.

    PS_NULL

    Pen is invisible.

  • nWidth
    [in] Specifies the width of the pen, in logical units.

    If nWidth is zero, the pen is a single pixel wide, regardless of the current transformation.

    CreatePen returns a pen with the specified width bit with the PS_SOLID style if you specify a width greater than one for the PS_DASH style.

  • crColor
    [in] Specifies a color reference for the pen color.

Return Value

Handle to a logical pen indicates success. NULL indicates failure. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

After an application creates a logical pen, it can select that pen into a device context by calling the SelectObject function. After a pen is selected into a device context, it can be used to draw lines and curves.

If the value specified by the nWidth parameter is zero, a line drawn with the created pen will always be a single pixel wide regardless of the current transformation.

If the value specified by nWidth is greater than 1, the fnPenStyle parameter must be PS_NULL or PS_SOLID.

User-specified endcap styles, such as PS_ENDCAP_ROUND, are not supported.

When you no longer need the pen, call the DeleteObject function to delete it.

Requirements

Header windows.h
Library coredll.lib
Windows Embedded CE Windows CE 2.0 and later
