Re: get font from HDC
Actually I want to use the following control
http://www.codeproject.com/listctrl/html_listctrl.asp (on Smartphone but
that's not the question) that is a Custom CListCtrl deriving from CWnd.
It's appropriate because on smartphone you don't have much space and
this listctrl allow to have a different size for each row in addtion to
support a few HTML tags.
But when reading the code I saw that it uses hfontBase =
(HFONT)SelectObject(hdc, (HFONT)GetStockObject(SYSTEM_FONT)); and I
think it would be better to use the font selected in the control.
For instanc I could do a SetFont on my listctrl and the DrawHTML
function should use it to do its rendering (bold, italic, ...)
About savedc and restordc it's because I haven't posted all the code.
int __stdcall DrawHTML(
HDC hdc, // handle of device context
LPCTSTR lpString, // address of string to draw
int nCount, // string length, in characters
LPRECT lpRect, // address of structure with
formatting dimensions
UINT uFormat // text-drawing flags

Hi,
I would like to modify a function used to render some HTML and use the
font I have choosen :
// C functions
int __stdcall DrawHTML(

LPCTSTR lpString, // address of string to draw
int nCount, // string length, in characters
LPRECT lpRect, // address of structure with

UINT uFormat // text-drawing flags

You do a SaveDC but not a RestoreDC?
****
hfontBase = (HFONT)SelectObject(hdc, (HFONT)GetStockObject(SYSTEM_FONT));
SelectObject(hdc, hfontBase);
****
It would be easier to write
hfontBase = ::GetCurrentObject(hdc, OBJ_FONT);
and not worry about the SelectObject pair
****
/* clear the other fonts, they are created "on demand" */
for (Index = 0; Index < FV_NUMBER; Index++)
hfontSpecial[Index] = NULL;
hfontSpecial[0] = hfontBase;
****
Note that if, in between times, the font which is currently selected into the DC is
deleted, the old handle you have saved here will become meaningless. Therefore, you
cannot rely on the fact that this handle will still be valid at the time you use it.
Better to do an array of LOGFONT values, rather than an array of HFONTs.
****
...
}
Here is my code :
void CxListCtrl::DrawItem(CDC *pDC, CRect rcItem, HTMLLIST_ITEM *pItem,
BOOL bSelected)
{
CFont* pOldFont = MemDC.SelectObject( &m_font );
DrawHTML(pDC->GetSafeHdc(),pItem->sItemText,pItem->sItemText.GetLength(),
&rc,DT_LEFT|DT_WORDBREAK);
****
So why do you save the font in the MemDC when you don't actually use it? Note that the
m_font handle must represent a valid font to be selected, but the line seems to have no
meaning as shown in this function. I would also suggest something like
HDC dc = pDC->GetSafeHdc();
if(dc == NULL)
return;
DrawHTML(dc, ...as above...);
}
My problem is I don't know how to modify DrawHTML to take the font
specified in DrawItem because from what I understand DrawHTML is using a
default font :
hfontBase = (HFONT)SelectObject(hdc, (HFONT)GetStockObject(SYSTEM_FONT));
SelectObject(hdc, hfontBase);
****
I don't see the relationship of the above code to the problem. Where is this line of
code? I also could not find any method called DrawHTML in the MSDN documentation, could
you say more about where it is implemented or what it is supposed to do?
