Hello !

I was wondering if someone had ever made a win32 function (in C)
equivalent to the xlib XDrawImageString ?
If so, it would be just wondrful if you could give it to me !!

Many thanks !!

In the Windows SDK the DrawTextEx function draws formatted text in the
specified rectangle.

int DrawTextEx
(
HDC hdc, // handle to device context
LPTSTR lpchText, // pointer to string to draw
int cchText, // length of string to draw
LPRECT lprc, // pointer to rectangle coordinates
UINT dwDTFormat, // formatting options
LPDRAWTEXTPARAMS lpDTParams // pointer to structure for more options
);

(Top-posting fixed)

Additionally, use SetBkMode (hdc, OPAQUE) and SetBkColor (hdc, COLORREF)
to set the actual background color.

XDrawString appears to always draw transparently, and XDrawImageString
always opaque; on Windows, you can specifically set the BkMode and
color, which aree used the same for just about all text drawing
functions. DrawTextEx has the advantage it also can *fill* the entire
drawing rectangle, so you know what you get in advance. The other
functions use the font information to calculate a reasonable bounding box.
