GetLayout function (wingdi.h)

The GetLayout function returns the layout of a device context (DC).

Syntax

DWORD GetLayout(
  [in] HDC hdc
);

Parameters

[in] hdc

A handle to the device context.

Return value

If the function succeeds, it returns the layout flags for the current device context.

If the function fails, it returns GDI_ERROR. For extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

The layout specifies the order in which text and graphics are revealed in a window or device context. The default is left to right. The GetLayout function tells you if the default has been changed through a call to SetLayout. For more information, see "Window Layout and Mirroring" in Window Features.
