CDC::SetTextCharacterExtra

Syntax

int SetTextCharacterExtra( int nCharExtra );

Parameters

nCharExtra

Specifies the amount of extra space (in logical units) to be added to each character. If the current mapping mode is not MM_TEXT, nCharExtra is transformed and rounded to the nearest pixel.

Remarks

Sets the amount of intercharacter spacing. GDI adds this spacing to each character, including break characters, when it writes a line of text to the device context.

Return Value

The amount of the previous intercharacter spacing.
