Font.FromHdc(IntPtr) Method

Definition

Creates a Font from the specified Windows handle to a device context.

C#
public static System.Drawing.Font FromHdc(IntPtr hdc);

Parameters

hdc
IntPtr

A handle to a device context.

Returns

The Font this method creates.

Exceptions

The font for the specified device context is not a TrueType font.
