BOOL ExtTextOut( int x, int y, UINT nOptions, LPRECT lpRect, const char FAR* lpString, UINT nCount, LPINT lpDxWidths );
x
Specifies the logical x-coordinate of the character cell for the first character in the specified string.
y
Specifies the logical y-coordinate of the character cell for the first character in the specified string.
nOptions
Specifies the rectangle type. This parameter can be one, both, or neither of the following values:
| Value | Meaning |
| ETO_CLIPPED | Specifies that text is clipped to the rectangle. |
| ETO_OPAQUE | Specifies that the current background color fills the rectangle. |
lpRect
Points to a RECT structure that determines the dimensions of the rectangle. This parameter can be NULL. You can also pass a CRect object for this parameter.
lpString
Points to the specified character string. You can also pass a CString object for this parameter.
nCount
Specifies the number of characters in the string.
lpDxWidths
Points to an array of values that indicate the distance between origins of adjacent character cells. For instance, lpDxWidths[i] logical units will separate the origins of character cell i and character cell i + 1. This parameter can be NULL.
Writes a character string within a rectangular region, using the currently selected font. The rectangular region can be opaque (filled with the current background color) and it can be a clipping region.
If nOptions is 0 and lpRect is NULL, the function writes text to the device context without using a rectangular region. 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 ExtTextOut, the application can call the CDC member function SetTextAlign with nFlags set to TA_UPDATECP. When this flag is set, Windows ignores x and y on subsequent calls to ExtTextOut, using the current position instead.
TRUE if the function is successful; otherwise FALSE.
