Polygon (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/6/2010

This function draws a polygon consisting of two or more vertices connected by straight lines. The current pen outlines the polygon, and the current brush fills it using the specified polygon fill mode.

Syntax

BOOL Polygon(
  HDC hdc, 
  const POINT* lpPoints, 
  int nCount
); 

Parameters

  • hdc
    [in] Handle to the device context.
  • lpPoints
    [in] Long pointer to an array of POINT structures that specify the vertices of the polygon.
  • nCount
    [in] Specifies the number of vertices in the array.

    This value must be greater than or equal to 2.

Return Value

Nonzero indicates success.

Zero indicates failure.

To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

The polygon is closed by drawing a line from the last vertex to the first.

The current position is not used or updated by the Polygon function.

Windows CE 1.0 and 1.01 support only convex polygons.
