The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

  CSize SetWindowExt( int x, int y );
  CSize SetWindowExt( SIZE size );
 
  Parameter   Description
 
  <x>         Specifies the x-extent (in logical units) of the window.
 
  <y>         Specifies the y-extent (in logical units) of the window.
 
  <size>      Specifies the x- and y-extents (in logical units) of the
              window.
 
  Remarks
 
  Sets the x- and y-extents of the window associated with the device
  context. The window, along with the device-context viewport, defines how
  GDI maps points in the logical coordinate system to points in the device
  coordinate system.
 
  When the following mapping modes are set, calls to SetWindowExt and
  SetViewportExt functions are ignored:
 
  MM_HIENGLISH
  MM_HIMETRIC
  MM_LOENGLISH
  MM_LOMETRIC
  MM_TEXT
  MM_TWIPS
 
  When MM_ISOTROPIC mode is set, an application must call the SetWindowExt
  member function before calling SetViewportExt.
 
  Return Value
 
  The previous extents of the window (in logical units) as a ◄CSize►
  object. If an error occurs, the x- and y-coordinates of the returned
  CSize object are both set to 0.
