GetDCOrgEx info  Overview  Group

The GetDCOrgEx function obtains the final translation origin for a specified device context (DC). The final translation origin specifies an offset that Windows uses to translate device coordinates into client coordinates (for coordinates in an application’s window).

BOOL GetDCOrgEx(

    HDC hdc,

// device-context handle

    LPPOINT lpPoint 

// address of structure that receives translation origin

   );

Parameters

hdc
Specifies the device context whose final translation origin is to be retrieved.
lpPoint
Points to a POINT structure that the function will set to the final translation origin, in device coordinates.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.

If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

The final translation origin is relative to the physical origin of the screen.
