The EXTLOGPEN structure defines the pen style, width, brush attributes for an extended pen. This structure is used by the GetObject function when it retrieves a description of a pen that was created when an application called the ExtCreatePen function.
elpPenStyle
Specifies a combination of pen types, styles, end caps, and joins. The values from each category may be retrieved by using a bit-wise AND with the appropriate mask.
elpPenStyle masked with PS_TYPE_MASK has one of the following pen type values:
| Value | Meaning |
| PS_GEOMETRIC | The pen is geometric. |
| PS_COSMETIC | The pen is cosmetic. |
elpPenStyle masked with PS_STYLE_MASK has one of the following pen styles values:
| Value | Meaning |
| PS_SOLID | The pen is solid. |
| PS_DASH | The pen is dashed. |
| PS_DOT | The pen is dotted. |
| PS_DASHDOT | The pen has alternating dashes and dots. |
| PS_DASHDOTDOT | The pen has alternating dashes and double dots. |
| PS_NULL | The pen is invisible. |
| PS_USERSTYLE | Specifies that a styling array supplied by the user is to be used. |
| PS_INSIDEFRAME | The pen is solid. When this pen is used in any GDI drawing function that takes a bounding rectangle, the dimensions of the figure are shrunk so that it fits entirely in the bounding rectangle, taking into account the width of the pen. This applies only to PS_GEOMETRIC pens. |
The following category applies only to PS_GEOMETRIC pens. elpPenStyle masked with PS_ENDCAP_MASK has one of the following end cap values:
| Value | Meaning |
| PS_ENDCAP_ROUND | Line end caps are round. |
| PS_ENDCAP_SQUARE | Line end caps are square. |
| PS_ENDCAP_FLAT | Line end caps are flat. |
The following category applies only to PS_GEOMETRIC pens. elpPenStyle masked with PS_JOIN_STYLE has one of the following join values:
| Value | Meaning |
| PS_JOIN_BEVEL | Line joins are beveled. |
| PS_JOIN_MITER | Line joins are mitered when they are within the current SetMiterLimit limit. A join is beveled when it would exceed the limit. |
| PS_JOIN_ROUND | Line joins are round. |
elpWidth
Specifies the width of the pen.
If elpPenStyle specifies geometric lines, this value is the width of the line in logical units. Otherwise, the lines are cosmetic and this value is one.
elpBrushStyle
Specifies the brush style of the pen. The elpBrushStyle field can be any one of the following styles:
| Value | Meaning |
| BS_DIBPATTERN | Specifies a pattern brush defined by a device-independent bitmap (DIB) specification. |
| BS_HATCHED | Specifies a hatched brush. |
| BS_HOLLOW | Specifies a hollow or NULL brush. |
| BS_PATTERN | Specifies a pattern brush defined by a memory bitmap. |
| BS_SOLID | Specifies a solid brush. |
elpColor
If elpBrushStyle is BS_SOLID or BS_HATCHED, elpColor specifies the color in which the pen is to be drawn. For BS_HATCHED, SetBkMode and SetBkColor determine the background color.
If elpBrushStyle is BS_HOLLOW or BS_PATTERN, elpColor is ignored.
If lpStyle is BS_DIBPATTERN, the low-order word of elpColor specifies whether the bmiColors members of the BITMAPINFO data structure contain explicit RGB values or indexes into the currently realized logical palette. The elpColor value must be one of the following:
| Value | Meaning |
| DIB_PAL_COLORS | The color table consists of an array of 16-bit indexes into the currently realized logical palette. |
| DIB_RGB_COLORS | The color table contains literal RGB values. |
elpHatch
If elpBrushStyle is BS_PATTERN, elpHatch must be a handle to the bitmap that defines the pattern.
If elpBrushStyle is BS_SOLID or BS_HOLLOW, elpHatch is ignored.
If elpBrushStyle is BS_DIBPATTERN, the elpHatch member contains a handle to a packed DIB. To obtain this handle, an application calls the GlobalAlloc function to allocate a block of global memory and then fills the memory with the packed DIB. A packed DIB consists of a BITMAPINFO data structure immediately followed by the array of bytes which define the pixels of the bitmap.
If elpBrushStyle is BS_HATCHED, the elpHatch member specifies the orientation of the lines used to create the hatch. It can be any one of the following values:
| Value | Meaning |
| HS_BDIAGONAL | 45-degree upward hatch (left to right) |
| HS_CROSS | Horizontal and vertical cross-hatch |
| HS_DIAGCROSS | 45-degree crosshatch |
| HS_FDIAGONAL | 45-degree downward hatch (left to right) |
| HS_HORIZONTAL | Horizontal hatch |
| HS_VERTICAL | Vertical hatch |
elpNumEntries
Specifies the number of entries in the user supplied style array elpStyleEntry[]. This value is zero if elpPenStyle does not specify PS_USERSTYLE.
elpStyleEntry[]
Specifies a user supplied style array. The array is specified with a finite length, but is used as if it repeats indefinitely. The first entry in the array specifies the length of the first dash. The second entry specifies the length of the first gap. Thereafter, lengths of dashes and gaps alternate.
If elpWidth specifies geometric lines, the lengths are in logical units. Otherwise, the lines are cosmetic and so lengths are in device units.
