SetViewportExtEx info  Overview  Group

The SetViewportExtEx function sets the horizontal and vertical extents of the viewport for a device context by using the specified values.

BOOL SetViewportExtEx(

HDC hdc,	// handle of device context
int nXExtent,	// new horizontal viewport extent
int nYExtent,	// new vertical viewport extent
LPSIZE lpSize	// original viewport extent
);

Parameters

hdc

Identifies the device context.

nXExtent

Specifies the horizontal extent, in device units, of the viewport.

nYExtent

Specifies the vertical extent, in device units, of the viewport.

lpSize

Points to a SIZE structure. The previous viewport extents (in device units) are placed in this structure. If lpSize is NULL, nothing is returned.

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

When the following mapping modes are set, calls to the SetWindowExtEx and SetViewportExtEx functions are ignored.

• MM_HIENGLISH

• MM_HIMETRIC

• MM_LOENGLISH

• MM_LOMETRIC

• MM_TEXT

• MM_TWIPS

When MM_ISOTROPIC mode is set, an application must call the SetWindowExtEx function before it calls SetViewportExtEx.
