DOCERR: Metafile Terminator Record Not Documented |
Q99334
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) 3.1
SUMMARY
The metafile file format, which is described in the Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) version 3.1 "Programmer's Reference, Volume 4: Resources" manual, does not contain the entire metafile format; the definition of the metafile terminator record is missing.
MORE INFORMATION
The metafile terminator record denotes the end of the disk-based metafile, and is the last record in the file. The function number for the terminator (rdFunction) is 0 (zero) and the size (rdSize) is 3 words.
This information is needed for applications that manually read and write metafiles, bypassing the standard graphical device interface (GDI) functions. If an application manually creates a metafile, it must place the terminator record as the last record in the file. If an application is reading a metafile manually, it must terminate reading the records after seeing a terminator record.
