GetDCOrgEx

The GetDCOrgEx function obtains the final translation origin for a specified device context (DC). The final translation origin specifies an offset that the system uses to translate device coordinates into client coordinates (for coordinates in an application's window).

BOOL GetDCOrgEx(
  HDC hdc,          // device-context handle
  LPPOINT lpPoint   // pointer to structure receiving the translation origin
);
 

Parameters

hdc

Specifies the device context whose final translation origin is to be retrieved.

lpPoint

Pointer to a POINT structure that the function will set to the final translation origin, in device coordinates.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.

If the function fails, the return value is zero.

Windows NT: To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

The final translation origin is relative to the physical origin of the screen.
