It serves as a supplement to the GetDeviceCaps (GDI.80) function. Parameter Description ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── lpDevice Points to a PDEVICE structure specifying the destination device. lpIndex Points to a 16-bit variable specifying the index of the capability to be retrieved. It can be one of the following values. Value Meaning ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── R2_CAPS (1) Specifies which of the 16-bit binary-raster operations the device driver supports. A unique bit is set for each supported raster operation. For example, the following code fragment sets the bit for support of the R2_XORPEN raster operation: Caps = Caps | (1<<R2_XORPEN); For more information about the binary-raster operations, see the DRAWMODE structure. PATTERN_CAPS (2) Specifies the maximum dimensions of a pattern brush bitmap. The low-order 16 bits of the capability value contains the maximum width of a pattern brush bitmap; the high-order 16 bits contains the maximum height. PATH_CAPS (3) Specifies whether the device is capable of creating paths using alternate and winding interiors, and whether the device can do exclusive or inclusive clipping to path interiors. The path capabilities is a combination of two of the following: PATH_ALTERNATE (1) PATH_WINDING (2) PATH_INCLUSIVE (3) PATH_EXCLUSIVE (4) POLYGON_CAPS(4) Specifies the maximum number of polygon points supported by the device. The capability value is an unsigned value specifying the maximum number of points. PATTERN_COLOR_CAPS (5) Specifies whether the device can convert monochrome pattern bitmaps to color. The capability value is one if the device can do pattern bitmap color conversions and zero if it cannot. R2_TEXT_CAPS (6) Specifies whether the device is capable of performing binary raster operations on text. The low-order 16 bits of the capability value specifies which raster operations are supported on text. A bit is set for each supported raster operation, as in the R2_CAPS escape. The high-order 16 bits specifies to which type of text the raster capabilities apply. It can be a combination of the the following values: RASTER_TEXT (1) DEVICE_TEXT (2) VECTOR_TEXT (3) POLYMODE_CAPS (7) Specifies the polygon modes supported by the device driver. The capability value is obtained by setting a bit in the corresponding position for each polygon mode supported. For example, if a device supports the PM_POLYSCANLINE and PM_BEZIER polygon modes, the capability value would be set as follows: Caps = Caps | (1<<PM_POLYSCANLINE) | (1<<PM_BEZIER); lpCaps Points to a 32-bit variable that receives the specified capability. Return Value The return value is a nonzero value if the specified extended capability is supported. Otherwise, it is zero if the capability is not supported. Comments A device driver implementing this escape must not modify the value of the 32-bit integer described by the lpCaps parameter unless it returns a valid value for the capability.
