CDC::DrawFocusRect

Draws a rectangle in the style used to indicate that the rectangle has the focus.

void DrawFocusRect(
   LPCRECT lpRect 
);

Parameters

  • lpRect
    Points to a RECT structure or a CRect object that specifies the logical coordinates of the rectangle to be drawn.

Remarks

Since this is a Boolean XOR function, calling this function a second time with the same rectangle removes the rectangle from the display. The rectangle drawn by this function cannot be scrolled. To scroll an area containing a rectangle drawn by this function, first call DrawFocusRect to remove the rectangle from the display, then scroll the area, and then call DrawFocusRect again to draw the rectangle in the new position.

Warning

DrawFocusRect works only in MM_TEXT mode. In other modes, this function does not draw the focus rectangle correctly, but it does not return error values.
