Selects a CGdiObject object that corresponds to one of the predefined stock pens, brushes, or fonts.

virtual CGdiObject* SelectStockObject(
   int nIndex 
);

Parameters

  • nIndex
    Specifies the kind of stock object desired. It can be one of the following values:

    • BLACK_BRUSH   Black brush.

    • DKGRAY_BRUSH   Dark gray brush.

    • GRAY_BRUSH   Gray brush.

    • HOLLOW_BRUSH   Hollow brush.

    • LTGRAY_BRUSH   Light gray brush.

    • NULL_BRUSH   Null brush.

    • WHITE_BRUSH   White brush.

    • BLACK_PEN   Black pen.

    • NULL_PEN   Null pen.

    • WHITE_PEN   White pen.

    • ANSI_FIXED_FONT   ANSI fixed system font.

    • ANSI_VAR_FONT   ANSI variable system font.

    • DEVICE_DEFAULT_FONT   Device-dependent font.

    • OEM_FIXED_FONT   OEM-dependent fixed font.

    • SYSTEM_FONT   The system font. By default, Windows uses the system font to draw menus, dialog-box controls, and other text. It is best, however, not to rely on SYSTEM_FONT to obtain the font used by dialogs and windows. Instead, use the SystemParametersInfo function with the SPI_GETNONCLIENTMETRICS parameter to retrieve the current font. SystemParametersInfo takes into account the current theme and provides font information for captions, menus, and message dialogs.

    • SYSTEM_FIXED_FONT   The fixed-width system font used in Windows prior to version 3.0. This object is available for compatibility with earlier versions of Windows.

    • DEFAULT_PALETTE   Default color palette. This palette consists of the 20 static colors in the system palette.

Return Value

A pointer to the CGdiObject object that was replaced if the function is successful. The actual object pointed to is a CPen, CBrush, or CFont object. If the call is unsuccessful, the return value is NULL.
