The GetLayout function returns the layout of a device context (DC).
Syntax
DWORD GetLayout(
[in] HDC hdc
);
Parameters
[in] hdc
A handle to the device context.
Return value
If the function succeeds, it returns the layout flags for the current device context.
If the function fails, it returns GDI_ERROR. For extended error information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
The layout specifies the order in which text and graphics are revealed in a window or device context. The default is left to right. The GetLayout function tells you if the default has been changed through a call to SetLayout. For more information, see "Window Layout and Mirroring" in Window Features.
