Message-ID:Date: 14 Aug 89 21:45:09 GMT Organization: Physics, Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA Lines: 11 Could someone tells me how do I get around the problem of not being able to use any of the Get??? functions when drawing to a MetaFile? To be specific, how do I get basic information like GetTextExtent for text positioning when using a MetaFile? Why only a SUBSET of the GDI functions can be used in Windows' MetaFile, while all the QuickDraw commands can be used in the Mac's Picture? ==Chaoping cy03@andrew.cmu.edu
