CMetaFileDC::CloseEnhanced

HENHMETAFILE CloseEnhanced( );

Return Value

A handle of an enhanced metafile, if successful; otherwise NULL.

Remarks

Closes an enhanced-metafile device context and returns a handle that identifies an enhanced-format metafile. An application can use the enhanced-metafile handle returned by this function to perform the following tasks:

• Display a picture stored in an enhanced metafile
  
  
• Create copies of the enhanced metafile
  
  
• Enumerate, edit, or copy individual records in the enhanced metafile
  
  
• Retrieve an optional description of the metafile contents from the enhanced-metafile header
  
  
• Retrieve a copy of the enhanced-metafile header
  
  
• Retrieve a binary copy of the enhanced metafile
  
  
• Enumerate the colors in the optional palette
  
  
• Convert an enhanced-format metafile into a Windows-format metafile

When the application no longer needs the enhanced metafile handle, it should release the handle by calling the ::DeleteEnhMetaFile function.
