| int SetTextCharacterExtra(hdc, nExtraSpace) | |||||
| HDC hdc; | /* handle of device context | */ | |||
| int nExtraSpace; | /* extra character spacing | */ | |||
The SetTextCharacterExtra function sets the amount of intercharacter spacing. The graphics device interface (GDI) adds this spacing to each character, including break characters, when it writes a line of text to the device context.
hdc
Identifies the device context.
nExtraSpace
Specifies the amount of extra space, in logical units, to be added to each character. If the current mapping mode is not MM_TEXT, this parameter is transformed and rounded to the nearest pixel.
The return value is the previous intercharacter spacing, if the function is successful.
The default value for the amount of intercharacter spacing is zero.
