What is the syntax for TextOut function in VC++ Win32 application?

The TextOut function writes a character string at the specified location, using the currently selected font, background color, and text color.

BOOL TextOut(
HDC hdc, // handle to device context
int x, // x-coordinate of starting position
int y, // y-coordinate of starting position
LPCTSTR lpString, // pointer to string
int cbString // number of characters in string
);

The first argument is the handle to the device context either the hdc value returned from GetDC or from BeginPaint during the processing of a WM_PAINT message. The second and third arguments x and y defines the starting point of the character string within the client area. The fourth argument lpsring is a pointer to character string and the last argument cbString indicates the number of characters in the string.

Eg: TextOut (hdc,x,y,”LeftButtonPressed”,17);

Is there any sample?

Thanks...

Hi..Geek,

Here is the sample…..

BOOL TextOut(HDC hdc,int nXStart,int nYStart,LPCTSTR lpString,int cbString);

Then put the following code in WndProc,

case WM_PAINT:
hdc = BeginPaint(hDlg, &ps);
TextOut(hdc, 0, 0, "Hello, Windows!", 15);
EndPaint(hDlg, &ps);
break;


That’s it…
