· hDC
Identifies the device context.
· X
Specifies the x-coordinate of the starting point of the string, in logical units.
· Y
Specifies the y-coordinate of the starting point of the string, in logical units.
· lpString
Points to the character string to draw. The string does not need to be zero-terminated, since nCount specifies the length of the string.
· nCount
Specifies the number of characters in the string.
· nTabPositions
Specifies the number of values in the array of tab-stop positions.
· lpnTabStopPositions
Points to an array containing the tab-stop positions, in device units. The tab stops must be sorted in increasing order; the smallest x-value should be the first item in the array.
Windows 95: A tab stop can be specified as a negative value, which causes text to be right-aligned on the tab stop rather than left-aligned.
· nTabOrigin
Specifies the x-coordinate of the starting position from which tabs are expanded, in logical units. |
| If the function succeeds, the return value is the dimensions, in logical units, of the string. The height is in the high-order word and the width is in the low-order word. |
