Syntax
BOOL PatBlt(HDC hdc, int nXLeft, int nYLeft, int nWidth, int nHeight, DWORD dwRop);
Parameters
hdc
[in] Handle to the device context.
nXLeft
[in] Specifies the x-coordinate, in logical units, of the upper-left corner of the rectangle to be filled.
nYLeft
[in] Specifies the y-coordinate, in logical units, of the upper-left corner of the rectangle to be filled.
nWidth
[in] Specifies the width, in logical units, of the rectangle.
nHeight
Specifies the height, in logical units, of the rectangle.
dwRop
[in] Specifies the raster operation code. This code may be one of the following values:
| Value | Description |
| PATCOPY | Copies the specified pattern into the destination bitmap. |
| PATINVERT | Combines the colors of the specified pattern with the colors of the destination rectangle by using the Boolean OR operator. |
| DSTINVERT | Inverts the destination rectangle. |
| BLACKNESS | Fills the destination rectangle using the color associated with index 0 in the physical palette. (This color is black for the default physical palette.) |
| WHITENESS | Fills the destination rectangle using the color associated with index 1 in the physical palette. (This color is white for the default physical palette.) |
Return Values
Nonzero indicates success. Zero indicates failure. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
The values of the dwRop parameter for this function are a limited subset of the full 256 ternary raster-operation codes; in particular, an operation code that refers to a source rectangle cannot be used.
Not all devices support the PatBlt function. For more information, see the description of the RC_BITBLT capability in the GetDeviceCaps function.
