L_StartMagGlass

Summary

Starts the Magnify Glass procedure by attaching a magnifying glass to the specified window.

Syntax

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_LTDIS_API L_INT L_StartMagGlass(hWnd, pBitmap, prcDst, pMagGlassOptions, pfnCallback, pUserData)

Parameters

L_HWND hWnd

Handle of the window to which to attach the Magnifying Glass.

pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap

Pointer to the bitmap handle that references the bitmap displayed in hWnd.

L_RECT * prcDst

Pointer to the display destination rectangle.

MAGGLASSOPTIONS * pMagGlassOptions

Pointer to a MAGGLASSOPTIONS structure which contains the options for controlling the behavior of the Magnifying Glass.

MAGGLASSCALLBACK pfnCallback

Optional callback function for additional processing.

If you do not provide a callback function, use NULL as the value of this parameter.

If you do provide a callback function, use the function pointer as the value of this parameter.

The callback function must adhere to the function prototype described in MAGGLASSCALLBACK function.

L_VOID* pUserData

Void pointer that you can use to pass one or more additional parameters that the callback function needs.

To use this feature, assign a value to a variable or create a structure that contains as many fields as you need. Then, in this parameter, pass the address of the variable or structure, casting it to L_VOID *. The callback function, which receives the address in its own pUserData parameter, can cast it to a pointer of the appropriate data type to access your variable or structure.

If the additional parameters are not needed, you can pass NULL in this parameter.

Returns

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

Comments

After calling this function, LEADTOOLS will monitor the window's messages, looking for mouse messages, and processing them by displaying a "Magnifying Glass" if and only if the MAGGLASS_MANUAL_UPDATE flag was not set.

If a callback function is passed to this function, information about the non-updated parts of the bitmap can be obtained from the callback function. This callback function receives information when the left mouse button is pressed or released and when the mouse is moved while the left mouse button is pressed. This information can be used to determine when to call L_UpdateMagGlass.

If a callback function is passed to this function, L_UpdateMagGlass must be called in order to paint the zoomed image in the Magnifying Glass display area.

If the MAGGLASS_MANUAL_UPDATE flag was set, LEADTOOLS will not handle the mouse events to manipulate the magnifying glass, so its the users responsibility to add the needed code to manipulate the magnifying glass. L_ShowMagGlass, L_SetMagGlassPos and L_UpdateMagGlassBitmap functions can be used in this case. For example: L_ShowMagGlass can be used with bShow set to TRUE to display the Magnifying glass when the mouse is pressed in the window to which the magnifying glass is attached. In addition, the L_SetMagGlassPos function can be called with the current cursor position when the mouse moves over the magnifying glass window.

Notes:

The appearance of the magnifying glass depends on the values of bEllipse, clrPen, b3D and nBorderSize. This can be seen in the table below:

bEllipse b3D nBorderSize clrPen Result
TRUE Ignored valid valid An elliptical magnifying glass of border size nBorderSize and border color clrPen.
FALSE FALSE valid valid A rectangular magnifying glass with a flat border of width nBorderSize and border color clrPen.
FALSE TRUE ignored ignored A rectangular magnifying glass with a 3D border having a set width and color.

Note: To make use of other shapes of the Magnifying Glass use L_UpdateMagGlassShape function.

Example

This sample checks to see if the Magnifying Glass was already started
using the global bConnected, and if it has, restarts the process.
This would be used in WM_SIZE or WM_xSCROLL to update the Magnifying
Glass after a change to the destination rect, rcView.
