INF: Metafile ExtTextOut Record Documentation Is Incomplete

ID Number: Q76583

WINDOWS

Summary:

The metafile file format is documented in Chapter 9 of the "Microsoft

Windows Software Development Kit Reference Volume 2" for version 3.0.

On page 9-19, the following text should be added to the description of

the options field:

An application should use the AND (&) operator to determine if the

options field has either the ETO_CLIPPED or ETO_OPAQUE bits set.

Using the "==" operator is discouraged, because the options field

of the ExtTextOut() function might have additional bits set. Some

applications set other bits in this field under certain

circumstances (Windows ignores all bits other than the ETO_CLIPPED

and ETO_OPAQUE bits).
