CloseMetaFile
The CloseMetaFile function closes a metafile device context and returns a handle that
identifies a Windows-format metafile.
This function is provided for compatibility with earlier versions of Microsoft
Windows. Win32-based applications should use the CloseEnhMetaFile function.
HMETAFILE CloseMetaFile(
HDC hdc
| // handle to metafile device context
| );
|
|
Parameters
hdc
Identifies a metafile device context used to create a Windows-format metafile.
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is a handle to a Windows-format
metafile.
If the function fails, the return value is NULL.
Remarks
A Windows-format metafile does not support the new curve, path, and
transformation functions, such as PolyBezier, BeginPath, and SetWorldTransform. Applications that use these new functions and use metafiles to store pictures created by these functions should call the
enhanced-format metafile functions.
To convert a Windows-format metafile into a new enhanced-format metafile, use
the SetWinMetaFileBits function.
When an application no longer needs the Windows-format metafile handle, it
should delete the handle by calling the DeleteMetaFile function.
