int SetTextCharacterExtra(hDC,nCharExtra)
This function 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.
| Parameter | Type/Description |
| hDC | HDC Identifies the device context. | |
| nCharExtra | int Specifies the amount of extra space (in logical units) to be added to each character. If the current mapping mode is not MM_TEXT, the nCharExtra parameter is transformed and rounded to the nearest pixel. |
The return value specifies the amount of the previous intercharacter spacing.
