DrawEdge

The DrawEdge function draws one or more edges of rectangle.

BOOL DrawEdge(

HDC hdc, // handle to device context
LPRECT qrc, // pointer to rectangle coordinates
UINT edge, // type of inner and outer edge to draw
UINT grfFlags // type of border
);  

Parameters

hdc

Identifies the device context.

qrc

Points to a RECT structure that contains the logical coordinates of the rectangle.edge

Specifies the type of inner and outer edge to draw. This parameter must be a combination of one inner-border flag and one outer-border flag. The inner-border flags are as follows:

Value Meaning
BDR_RAISEDINNER Raised inner edge.
BDR_SUNKENINNER Sunken inner edge.

The outer-border flags are as follows:

Value Meaning
BDR_RAISEDOUTER Raised outer edge.
BDR_SUNKENOUTER Sunken outer edge.

Alternatively, the edge parameter can specify one of the following flags:

Value Meaning
EDGE_BUMP Combination of BDR_RAISEDOUTER and BDR_SUNKENINNER.
EDGE_ETCHED Combination of BDR_SUNKENOUTER and BDR_RAISEDINNER.
EDGE_RAISED Combination of BDR_RAISEDOUTER and BDR_RAISEDINNER.
EDGE_SUNKEN Combination of BDR_SUNKENOUTER and BDR_SUNKENINNER.

grfFlags

Specifies the type of border. This parameter can be a combination of these values:

Value Meaning
BF_ADJUST Rectangle to be adjusted to leave space for client area.
BF_BOTTOM Bottom of border rectangle.
BF_BOTTOMLEFT Bottom and left side of border rectangle.
BF_BOTTOMRIGHT Bottom and right side of border rectangle.
BF_DIAGONAL Diagonal border.
BF_DIAGONAL_ENDBOTTOMLEFT Diagonal border. The end point is the bottom-left corner of the rectangle; the origin is top-right corner.
BF_DIAGONAL_ENDBOTTOMRIGHT Diagonal border. The end point is the bottom-right corner of the rectangle; the origin is top-left corner.
BF_DIAGONAL_ENDTOPLEFT Diagonal border. The end point is the top-left corner of the rectangle; the origin is bottom-right corner.
BF_DIAGONAL_ENDTOPRIGHT Diagonal border. The end point is the top-right corner of the rectangle; the origin is bottom-left corner.
BF_FLAT Flat border.
BF_LEFT Left side of border rectangle.
BF_MIDDLE Interior of rectangle to be filled.
BF_MONO One-dimensional border.
BF_RECT Entire border rectangle.
BF_RIGHT Right side of border rectangle.
BF_SOFT Soft buttons instead of tiles.
BF_TOP Top of border rectangle.
BF_TOPLEFT Top and left side of border rectangle.
BF_TOPRIGHT Top and right side of border rectangle.
