MetafileHeader::IsWmfPlaceable method (gdiplusmetaheader.h)

The MetafileHeader::IsWmfPlaceable method determines whether the associated metafile is a placeable metafile.

Syntax

BOOL IsWmfPlaceable();

Return value

Type: BOOL

If the associated metafile is a placeable metafile, this method returns TRUE; otherwise, it returns FALSE.

Remarks

Placeable metafiles are .wmf files that contain a preheader preceding the metafile header. The preheader contains additional information for the metafile header of the metafile.

Examples

The following example creates a Metafile object from a .wmf file and gets the metafile header of the metafile. The code then determines whether the metafile is a placeable metafile.

MetafileHeader metaHeader;
Metafile::GetMetafileHeader(L"sampleMetafile.wmf", &metaHeader);

if(metaHeader.IsWmfPlaceable() == TRUE)
{
   // The associated metafile is a placeable metafile.
}
