CSize TabbedTextOut( int x, int y, const char FAR* lpString, int nCount, int nTabPositions, LPINT lpnTabStopPositions, int nTabOrigin );
x
Specifies the logical x-coordinate of the starting point of the string.
y
Specifies the logical y-coordinate of the starting point of the string.
lpString
Points to the character string to draw. You can pass either a const FAR pointer to an array of characters or a CString object for this parameter.
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.
nTabOrigin
Specifies the x-coordinate of the starting position from which tabs are expanded (in logical units).
Writes a character string at a specified location, expanding tabs to the values specified in an array of tab-stop positions. Text is written in the currently selected font. If nTabPositions is 0 and lpnTabStopPositions is NULL, tabs are expanded to eight times the average character width.
If nTabPositions is 1, the tab stops are separated by the distance specified by the first value in the lpnTabStopPositions array.
If the lpnTabStopPositions array contains more than one value, a tab stop is set for each value in the array, up to the number specified by nTabPositions.
The nTabOrigin parameter allows an application to call the TabbedTextOut function several times for a single line. If the application calls the function more than once with the nTabOrigin set to the same value each time, the function expands all tabs relative to the position specified by nTabOrigin.
By default, the current position is not used or updated by the function. If an application needs to update the current position when it calls the function, the application can call SetTextAlign with nFlags set to TA_UPDATECP. When this flag is set, Windows ignores x and y on subsequent calls to TabbedTextOut, using the current position instead.
The dimensions of the string (in logical units) as a CSize.
