VIEWSTATUS

The VIEWSTATUS enumeration is used in IViewObjectEx::GetViewStatus to specify the opacity of the object and the drawing aspects supported by the object.

typedef enum tagVIEWSTATUS 
{ 
    VIEWSTATUS_OPAQUE                 = 1, 
    VIEWSTATUS_SOLIDBKGND             = 2, 
    VIEWSTATUS_DVASPECTOPAQUE         = 4, 
    VIEWSTATUS_DVASPECTTRANSPARENT    = 8 
} VIEWSTATUS;
 

Elements

VIEWSTATUS_OPAQUE

The object is completely opaque. So, for any aspect, it promises to draw the entire rectangle passed to the IViewObject::Draw method. If this value is not set, the object contains transparent parts. If it also support DVASPECT_TRANSPARENT, then this aspect may be used to draw the transparent parts only.

This bit applies only to CONTENT related aspects and not to DVASPECT_ICON or DVASPECT_DOCPRINT.

VIEWSTATUS_SOLIDBKGND

The object has a solid background (consisting in a solid color, not a brush pattern). This bit is meaningful only if VIEWSTATUS_OPAQUE is set.

This bit applies only to CONTENT related aspects and not to DVASPECT_ICON or DVASPECT_DOCPRINT.

VIEWSTATUS_DVASPECTOPAQUE

Object supports DVASPECT_OPAQUE. All IViewObjectEx methods taking a drawing aspect as a parameter can be called with this aspect.

VIEWSTATUS_DVASPECTTRANSPARENT

The object supports DVASPECT_TRANSPARENT. All IViewObjectEx methods taking a drawing aspect as a parameter can be called with this aspect.
