Parameters

• orientation [in]
  Type: ORIENTATION_PREFERENCE

  A combination of ORIENTATION_PREFERENCE-typed values that are combined by using a bitwise OR operation. The resulting value specifies the orientation preferences of the display. Here are possible values:

  ORIENTATION_PREFERENCE_PORTRAIT 0x2	Specifies that the display can be oriented in portrait mode where the height of the display viewing area is greater than the width.
  ORIENTATION_PREFERENCE_LANDSCAPE_FLIPPED 0x4	Specifies that the display can be oriented in flipped landscape mode where the width of the display viewing area is greater than the height. This landscape mode is flipped 180 degrees from ORIENTATION_PREFERENCE_LANDSCAPE mode.
  ORIENTATION_PREFERENCE_PORTRAIT_FLIPPED 0x8	Specifies that the display can be oriented in flipped portrait mode where the height of the display viewing area is greater than the width. This portrait mode is flipped 180 degrees from the ORIENTATION_PREFERENCE_PORTRAIT mode.

   

Return value

Remarks

An app can remove the orientation preferences of the display after it sets them by passing ORIENTATION_PREFERENCE_NONE to SetDisplayAutoRotationPreferences. An app can change the orientation preferences of the display by passing a different combination of ORIENTATION_PREFERENCE-typed values to SetDisplayAutoRotationPreferences.
