Polyline function

Applies to: desktop apps only

The Polyline function draws a series of line segments by connecting the points in the specified array.

Syntax

Copy

BOOL Polyline(
  __in  HDC hdc,
  __in  const POINT *lppt,
  __in  int cPoints
);

Parameters

hdc [in]: A handle to a device context.
lppt [in]: A pointer to an array of POINT structures, in logical units.
cPoints [in]: The number of points in the array. This number must be greater than or equal to two.

Return value

If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.

If the function fails, the return value is zero.

Remarks

The lines are drawn from the first point through subsequent points by using the current pen. Unlike the LineTo or PolylineTo functions, the Polyline function neither uses nor updates the current position.
