Pen::GetLastStatus method (gdipluspen.h)

The Pen::GetLastStatus method returns a value that indicates the nature of this Pen object's most recent method failure.

Syntax

Status GetLastStatus();

Return value

Type: Status

The Pen::GetLastStatus method returns an element of the Status enumeration.

If no methods invoked on this Pen object have failed since the previous call to Pen::GetLastStatus, then Pen::GetLastStatus returns Ok.

If at least one method invoked on this Pen object has failed since the previous call to Pen::GetLastStatus, then Pen::GetLastStatus returns a value that indicates the nature of the most recent failure.

Remarks

You can call Pen::GetLastStatus immediately after constructing a Pen object to determine whether the constructor succeeded.

The first time you call the Pen::GetLastStatus method of a Pen object, it returns Ok if the constructor succeeded and all methods invoked so far on the Pen object succeeded. Otherwise, it returns a value that indicates the nature of the most recent failure.

Examples

The following example creates a Pen object, sets the dash style, and draws a dashed line. The code then checks the status of the method that sets the dash style for the pen.

VOID Example_GetLastStatus(HDC hdc)
{
   Graphics graphics(hdc);
   
   // Create a pen.
   Pen pen(Color(255, 255, 0, 0), 5);

   // Set the dash style, and draw a dashed line.
   pen.SetDashStyle(DashStyleDash);
   graphics.DrawLine(&pen, 0, 0, 200, 100);

   // Check the status of the method that sets the dash style for the pen.
   Status status = pen.GetLastStatus();

   if(status == Ok)
   {
      // The call to SetDashStyle was successful.
   }
   else
   {
      // There was a problem with the call to SetDashStyle.
   }
}
