Font::Font(HDC) method (gdiplusheaders.h)
Creates a Font::Font object based on the Windows Graphics Device Interface (GDI) font object that is currently selected into a specified device context. This constructor is provided for compatibility with GDI.
Syntax
void Font(
[in] HDC hdc
);
Parameters
[in] hdc
Type: HDC
Handle to a Windows device context that has a font selected. A handle is a number that Windows uses internally to reference an object.
Return value
None
Remarks
In most cases when you obtain a device context handle by calling the GetHDC method of a Graphics object, the device context will not have a font selected. If you pass such a handle to this constructor, the constructor will fail.
A device context is a structure that is maintained internally. It is associated with a particular device, such as a video monitor or a printer. There is usually one device context associated with each window displayed on a video monitor. A device context contains some graphics attributes used by GDI+.
