CRgn::CreateEllipticRgnIndirect

Creates an elliptical region.

BOOL CreateEllipticRgnIndirect(
   LPCRECT lpRect 
);

Parameters

  • lpRect
    Points to a RECT structure or a CRect object that contains the logical coordinates of the upper-left and lower-right corners of the bounding rectangle of the ellipse.

Return Value

Nonzero if the operation succeeded; otherwise 0.

Remarks

The region is defined by the structure or object pointed to by lpRect and is stored in the CRgn object.

The size of a region is limited to 32,767 by 32,767 logical units or 64K of memory, whichever is smaller.

When it has finished using a region created with the CreateEllipticRgnIndirect function, an application should select the region out of the device context and use the DeleteObject function to remove it.
