ENHMETAHEADER structure (wingdi.h)

The ENHMETAHEADER structure contains enhanced-metafile data such as the dimensions of the picture stored in the enhanced metafile, the count of records in the enhanced metafile, the resolution of the device on which the picture was created, and so on.

This structure is always the first record in an enhanced metafile.

Syntax

} ENHMETAHEADER, *PENHMETAHEADER, *LPENHMETAHEADER;

Members

iType

The record type. This member must specify the value assigned to the EMR_HEADER constant.

nSize

The structure size, in bytes.

rclBounds

The dimensions, in device units, of the smallest rectangle that can be drawn around the picture stored in the metafile. This rectangle is supplied by graphics device interface (GDI). Its dimensions include the right and bottom edges.

rclFrame

The dimensions, in .01 millimeter units, of a rectangle that surrounds the picture stored in the metafile. This rectangle must be supplied by the application that creates the metafile. Its dimensions include the right and bottom edges.

dSignature

A signature. This member must specify the value assigned to the ENHMETA_SIGNATURE constant.

nVersion

The metafile version. The current version value is 0x10000.

nBytes

The size of the enhanced metafile, in bytes.

nRecords

The number of records in the enhanced metafile.

nHandles

The number of handles in the enhanced-metafile handle table. (Index zero in this table is reserved.)

sReserved

Reserved; must be zero.

nDescription

The number of characters in the array that contains the description of the enhanced metafile's contents. This member should be set to zero if the enhanced metafile does not contain a description string.

offDescription

The offset from the beginning of the ENHMETAHEADER structure to the array that contains the description of the enhanced metafile's contents. This member should be set to zero if the enhanced metafile does not contain a description string.

nPalEntries

The number of entries in the enhanced metafile's palette.

szlDevice

The resolution of the reference device, in pixels.

szlMillimeters

The resolution of the reference device, in millimeters.

cbPixelFormat

The size of the last recorded pixel format in a metafile. If a pixel format is set in a reference DC at the start of recording, cbPixelFormat is set to the size of the PIXELFORMATDESCRIPTOR. When no pixel format is set when a metafile is recorded, this member is set to zero. If more than a single pixel format is set, the header points to the last pixel format.

offPixelFormat

The offset of pixel format used when recording a metafile. If a pixel format is set in a reference DC at the start of recording or during recording, offPixelFormat is set to the offset of the PIXELFORMATDESCRIPTOR in the metafile. If no pixel format is set when a metafile is recorded, this member is set to zero. If more than a single pixel format is set, the header points to the last pixel format.

bOpenGL

Indicates whether any OpenGL records are present in a metafile. bOpenGL is a simple Boolean flag that you can use to determine whether an enhanced metafile requires OpenGL handling. When a metafile contains OpenGL records, bOpenGL is TRUE; otherwise it is FALSE.

szlMicrometers

The size of the reference device, in micrometers.
