The following example creates a Windows GDI+ region from a path and then uses the GDI+ region to create a GDI region. The code then uses a GDI function to display the GDI region.
C++
VOID Example_GetHRGN(HDC hdc)
{
Graphics graphics(hdc);
Point points[] = {
Point(110, 20),
Point(120, 30),
Point(100, 60),
Point(120, 70),
Point(150, 60),
Point(140, 10)};
GraphicsPath path;
path.AddClosedCurve(points, 6);
// Create a region from a path.
Region pathRegion(&path);
// Get a handle to a GDI region.
HRGN hRegion;
hRegion = pathRegion.GetHRGN(&graphics);
// Use GDI to display the region.
HBRUSH hBrush = CreateSolidBrush(RGB(255, 0, 0));
FillRgn(hdc, hRegion, hBrush);
DeleteObject(hBrush);
DeleteObject(hRegion);
}
SUB GDIP_GetRegionHRgn (BYVAL hdc AS DWORD)
LOCAL hStatus AS LONG
LOCAL pGraphics AS DWORD
LOCAL pPath AS DWORD
LOCAL pPathRegion AS DWORD
DIM pts(5) AS POINTL
hStatus = GdipCreateFromHDC(hdc, pGraphics)
pts(0).x = 110 : pts(0).y = 20
pts(1).x = 120 : pts(1).y = 30
pts(2).x = 100 : pts(2).y = 60
pts(3).x = 120 : pts(3).y = 70
pts(4).x = 150 : pts(4).y = 60
pts(5).x = 140 : pts(5).y = 10
' // Create a region from a path.
hStatus = GdipCreatePath(%FillModeAlternate, pPath)
hStatus = GdipAddPathClosedCurveI(pPath, pts(0), 6)
' // Create a region from a path.
hStatus = GdipCreateRegionPath(pPath, pPathRegion)
' // Get a handle to a GDI region.
LOCAL hRegion AS DWORD
hStatus = GdipGetRegionHRgn(pPathRegion, pGraphics, hRegion)
' // Use GDI to display the region.
LOCAL hBrush AS DWORD
hBrush = CreateSolidBrush(RGB(255, 0, 0))
FillRgn(hdc, hRegion, hBrush)
' // Cleanup
IF hBrush THEN DeleteObject(hBrush)
IF hRegion THEN DeleteObject(hRegion)
IF pPathRegion THEN GdipDeleteRegion(pPathRegion)
IF pPath THEN GdipDeletePath(pPath)

END SUB
The following illustration shows the output of the preceding code.
