PolyTextOut function
The PolyTextOut function draws several strings using the font and text colors currently selected in the specified device context.
Syntax
BOOL PolyTextOut( _In_ HDC hdc, _In_ const POLYTEXT *pptxt, _In_ int cStrings );
Parameters
- hdc [in]
-
A handle to the device context.
- pptxt [in]
-
A pointer to an array of POLYTEXT structures describing the strings to be drawn. The array contains one structure for each string to be drawn.
- cStrings [in]
-
The number of POLYTEXT structures in the pptxt array.
Return value
If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero.
Remarks
Each POLYTEXT structure contains the coordinates of a reference point that Windows uses to align the corresponding string of text. An application can specify how the reference point is used by calling the SetTextAlign function. An application can determine the current text-alignment setting for the specified device context by calling the GetTextAlign function.
To draw a single string of text, the application should call the ExtTextOut function.
