short Escape(hDC, SETKERNTRACK, sizeof(int),lpNewTrack,lpOldTrack)
This escape specifies which kerning track to use for drivers that support automatic track kerning. A kerning track of zero disables automatic track kerning.
When track kerning is enabled, the driver will automatically kern all characters according to the specified track. The driver will reflect this kerning both on the printer and in Get-TextExtent function calls.
| Parameter | Type/Description |
| hDC | HDC Identifies the device context. | |
| lpNewTrack | LPINT Points to a short-integer value that specifies the kerning track to use. A value of zero disables this feature. Values in the range 1 to nKernTracks correspond to positions in the track-kerning table (using 1 as the first item in the table). For more information, see the description of the EXTTEXTMETRIC structure provided under the description of the GETEXTENDEDTEXTMETRICS escape. | |
| lpOldTrack | LPINT Points to a short-integer value that will receive the previous kerning track. |
The return value specifies the outcome of the escape. It is 1 if the escape is successful; it is zero if the escape is not successful or not implemented.
Automatic track kerning is disabled by default.
A driver does not have to support the ENABLEPAIRKERNING escape just because it supplies the track-kerning table to the application by using the GETTRACKKERNTABLE escape. In the case where GETTRACKKERNTABLE is supported but the SETKERNTRACK escape is not, the application must properly space the characters on the output device.
