#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_LTEFX_API L_INT L_EfxDrawRotated3dText(hDC, pszText, pRect, nAngle, uFlags, nXDepth, nYDepth, crText, crShadow, crHilite, hFont, hdcFore)

Draws three-dimensional text which is rotated by the amount specified into the target device context using the specified font, color, and style.

Parameters

HDC hDC

Handle to the target device context.

L_TCHAR * pszText

Text string.

RECT *pRect

Pointer to the display destination rectangle.

L_INT nAngle

Text angle, in tenths of degrees.

L_UINT uFlags

Text style. Use this parameter to control the style and justification of the three-dimensional text. For valid values, refer to Effect Text Style Flags and Effect Text Alignment Flags.

L_INT nXDepth

Horizontal shadow position.

L_INT nYDepth

Vertical shadow position.

COLORREF crText

COLORREF value that specifies the text color.

COLORREF crShadow

COLORREF value that specifies the shadow color.

COLORREF crHilite

COLORREF value that specifies the border color.

HFONT hFont

Handle to the selected font. The font must be TrueType in order to rotate.

HDC hdcFore

Handle to the source device context for the foreground. Use this parameter to place an image (such as a gradient) on the surface of the three-dimensional text. Use NULL to paint the color specified in crText.

Returns

Value Meaning
SUCCESS The function was successful.
< 1 An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

The font must be TrueType in order to rotate. The rotation point will be calculated from (X, 0).

Drop shadows are available only for the following uFlags values:

The crShadow color is used for three-dimensional effects for the following uFlags values:

The crHilite color is used only for the following uFlags values:
