The IntersectClipRect function creates a new clipping region from the intersection of the current clipping region and the specified rectangle.

int IntersectClipRect(

HDC hdc, // handle of device context
int nLeftRect, // x-coordinate of upper-left corner of rectangle
int nTopRect, // y-coordinate of upper-left corner of rectangle
int nRightRect, // x-coordinate of lower-right corner of rectangle
int nBottomRect // y-coordinate of lower-right corner of rectangle
);  

Parameters

Identifies the device context.

nLeftRect

Specifies the logical x-coordinate of the upper-left corner of the rectangle.

nTopRect

Specifies the logical y-coordinate of the upper-left corner of the rectangle.

nRightRect

Specifies the logical x-coordinate of the lower-right corner of the rectangle.

nBottomRect

Specifies the logical y-coordinate of the lower-right corner of the rectangle.
