- #10: InvalRgn Twist
-
- Revised by: Steven Glass November 1988
- Written by: Guillermo Ortiz April 1987
-
- InvalRgn(RgnHandle) accumulates the region to which RgnHandle points into the
- update region of the current window's port; in the process, it makes the
- region global, thus causing problems if later calls expect the region to still
- be local.
- _____________________________________________________________________________
-
- The region you pass to InvalRgn is local to the window to which it is related;
- however, InvalRgn returns the region in global coordinates. To preserve the
- original region for your use after the call to InvalRgn, you should duplicate
- it and use the copy to make the call then dispose of the copy when InvalRgn
- returns. The following example demonstrates the process:
-
- void MyInvalReg(RegHandle)
-
- handle RegHandle;
- {
- handle AuxHandle;
-
- AuxHandle = NewRgn(); /* create room */
- CopyRgn(RegHandle,AuxHandle); /* make a copy */
- InvalRgn(AuxHandle); /* do it with the copy */
- DisposeRgn(AuxHandle); /* now get rid of it! */
- }
