IXpsOMObjectFactory::CreateGeometry method

Creates an IXpsOMGeometry interface, which specifies the shape of a path or of a clipping region.

Syntax

HRESULT CreateGeometry(
  [out, retval] IXpsOMGeometry **geometry
);

Parameters

• geometry [out, retval]
  A pointer to the new IXpsOMGeometry interface.

Return value

The method returns an HRESULT. Possible values include, but are not limited to, those in the table that follows. For information about XPS document API return values that are not listed in this table, see XPS Document Errors.

Remarks

The code example that follows illustrates how this method is used to create a new interface.

IXpsOMGeometry    *newInterface;

// Note the implicit requirement that CoInitializeEx 
//  has previously been called from this thread.

hr = CoCreateInstance(
    __uuidof(XpsOMObjectFactory),
    NULL,
    CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,
    _uuidof(IXpsOMObjectFactory),
    reinterpret_cast<LPVOID*>(&xpsFactory)
    );

if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
    hr = xpsFactory->CreateGeometry (&newInterface);
    if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
    {
        // use newInterface

        newInterface->Release();
    }
    xpsFactory->Release();
}
else
{
    // evaluate HRESULT error returned in hr
}
