CWnd::ScrollWindowEx
intScrollWindowEx(intdx**,intdy,LPCRECTlpRectScroll,LPCRECTlpRectClip,CRgn*prgnUpdate,LPRECTlpRectUpdate,UINTflags);**
Return Value
The return value is SIMPLEREGION (rectangular invalidated region), COMPLEXREGION (nonrectangular invalidated region; overlapping rectangles), or NULLREGION (no invalidated region), if the function is successful; otherwise the return value is ERROR.
Parameters
dx
Specifies the amount, in device units, of horizontal scrolling. This parameter must have a negative value to scroll to the left.
dy
Specifies the amount, in device units, of vertical scrolling. This parameter must have a negative value to scroll up.
lpRectScroll
Points to a RECT structure that specifies the portion of the client area to be scrolled. If this parameter is NULL, the entire client area is scrolled.
lpRectClip
Points to a RECT structure that specifies the clipping rectangle to scroll. This structure takes precedence over the rectangle pointed to by lpRectScroll. Only bits inside this rectangle are scrolled. Bits outside this rectangle are not affected even if they are in the lpRectScroll rectangle. If this parameter is NULL, no clipping is performed on the scroll rectangle.
prgnUpdate
Identifies the region that is modified to hold the region invalidated by scrolling. This parameter may be NULL.
lpRectUpdate
Points to a RECT structure that will receive the boundaries of the rectangle invalidated by scrolling. This parameter may be NULL.
flags
Can have one of the following values:
SW_ERASE When specified with SW_INVALIDATE, erases the newly invalidated region by sending a message to the window.
SW_INVALIDATE Invalidates the region identified by prgnUpdate after scrolling.
SW_SCROLLCHILDREN Scrolls all child windows that intersect the rectangle pointed to by lpRectScroll by the number of pixels specified in dx and dy. Windows sends a message to all child windows that intersect lpRectScroll, even if they do not move. The caret is repositioned when a child window is scrolled and the cursor rectangle intersects the scroll rectangle.
Remarks
Scrolls the contents of a window’s client area. This function is similar to the function, with some additional features.
If and are not specified, the ScrollWindowEx member function does not invalidate the area that is scrolled away from. If either of these flags is set, ScrollWindowEx invalidates this area. The area is not updated until the application calls the member function, calls the member function (specifying or ), or retrieves the message from the application queue.
If the window has the style, the returned areas specified by prgnUpdate and lpRectUpdate represent the total area of the scrolled window that must be updated, including any areas in child windows that need updating.
If the flag is specified, Windows will not properly update the screen if part of a child window is scrolled. The part of the scrolled child window that lies outside the source rectangle will not be erased and will not be redrawn properly in its new destination. Use the Windows function to move child windows that do not lie completely within the lpRectScroll rectangle. The cursor is repositioned if the SW_SCROLLCHILDREN flag is set and the caret rectangle intersects the scroll rectangle.
All input and output coordinates (for lpRectScroll, lpRectClip, lpRectUpdate, and prgnUpdate) are assumed to be in client coordinates, regardless of whether the window has the CS_OWNDC or CS_CLASSDC class style. Use the and Windows functions to convert to and from logical coordinates, if necessary.
