CanvasInvertRect

LabWindows/CVI

CanvasInvertRect

int CanvasInvertRect (int panelHandle, int controlID, Rect rectangle);

Purpose

Inverts the colors in the specified rectangular area of a canvas control.

The resulting colors depend on the operating system. If you invert the same rectangle twice, you are guaranteed to get the original colors back.

Supported Controls

You can use CanvasInvertRect with canvas controls.

Parameters

Input
Name Type Description
panelHandle int Specifier for a particular panel that is currently in memory. You can obtain this handle from functions such as LoadPanel and NewPanel.
controlID int The defined constant, located in the .uir header file, that you assigned to the control in the User Interface Editor, or the ID returned by functions such as NewCtrl and DuplicateCtrl.
rectangle Rect Rect structure that specifies the location and size of the rectangular area in which to invert the colors.

Use VAL_ENTIRE_OBJECT to specify the entire canvas.

The Rect structure is defined as follows:

typedef struct
   {
   int top;
   int left;
   int height;
   int width;
   } Rect;


You can create a Rect without having to declare a variable by using the following function:

Rect MakeRect (int top, int left, int height, int width);

Example

CanvasInvertRect (panelHandle, controlID, MakeRect(20,30,150,200));

Return Value

status int Return value indicating whether the function was successful. A negative number indicates that an error occurred.
