DevQueryCaps Parameter - alArray

alArray (PLONG) - output

Array of lCount elements, starting with lStart. The array elements are numbered consecutively, starting with CAPS_FAMILY. The element number constants start with 0.

If lStart + lCount -1 exceeds the current highest-defined element number, elements beyond the highest are returned as 0.

The high order word of the version identifier is 0. The low order word identifies the release, for example 0x0120 is release 1.2.

Media width (for a full screen, maximized window for displays) in pels.

Media depth (for a full screen, maximized window for displays) in pels. (For a plotter, a pel is defined as the smallest possible displacement of the pen and can be smaller than a pen width.)

Media width (for a full screen, maximized window for displays) in default character columns.

Media depth (for a full screen, maximized window for displays) in default character rows.

Horizontal resolution of device in pels per meter.

Vertical resolution of device in pels per meter.

Default character-box width in pels for VIO.

Default character-box height in pels for VIO.

Default small-character box width in pels for VIO. This is 0 if there is only one character-box size.

Default small-character box height in pels for VIO. This is 0 if there is only one character-box size.

Number of distinct colors supported at the same time, including reset (gray scales count as distinct colors). If loadable color tables are supported, this is the number of entries in the device color table. For plotters, the value returned is the number of pens plus one (for the background).

Number of color planes.

Number of adjacent color bits for each pel (within one plane).

CAPS_COLTABL_RGB_8

1 if RGB color table can be loaded, with a minimum support of 8 bits each for red, green, and blue.

1 if color table with other than 8 bits for each primary color can be loaded.

1 if true mixing occurs when the logical color table has been realized, providing that the size of the logical color table is not greater than the number of distinct colors supported (see element CAPS_COLORS).

1 if a loaded color table can be realized.

The number of pointing device buttons that are available. A returned value of 0 indicates that there are no pointing device buttons available.

CAPS_FM_OR

Logical OR.

Overpaint.

Logical XOR.

Leave alone.

Logical AND.

Graphics Programming Interface Programming Reference.

The value returned is the sum of the values appropriate to the mixes supported. A device capable of supporting OR must, as a minimum, return CAPS_FM_OR + CAPS_FM_OVERPAINT + CAPS_FM_LEAVEALONE, signifying support for the mandatory mixes OR, overpaint, and leave-alone.
Note that these numbers correspond to the decimal representation of a bit string that is six bits long, with each bit set to 1 if the appropriate mode is supported.
Those mixes returned as supported are guaranteed for all primitive types. For more information, see "GpiSetMix" in Graphics Programming Interface Programming Reference.

CAPS_BACKGROUND_MIX_SUPPORT
Background mix support:
CAPS_BM_OR
Logical OR.
CAPS_BM_OVERPAINT
Overpaint.
CAPS_BM_XOR
Logical XOR.
CAPS_BM_LEAVEALONE
Leave alone.
CAPS_BM_AND
Logical AND.
CAPS_BM_GENERAL_BOOLEAN
All other mix modes; see "GpiSetMix" in Graphics Programming Interface Programming Reference.
CAPS_BM_SRCTRANSPARENT
Provides a transparent overlay function by not copying pels from the source bit map to the output bit map if they match the presentation space background color.
CAPS_BM_DESTTRANSPARENT
Provides a transparent underlay function by copying only the pels that match the presentation space background color from the source bit map to the output bit map.
The value returned is the sum of the values appropriate to the mixes supported. A device must, as a minimum, return CAPS_BM_OVERPAINT + CAPS_BM_LEAVEALONE, signifying support for the mandatory background mixes overpaint, and leave-alone.
Note that these numbers correspond to the decimal representation of a bit string that is four bits long, with each bit set to 1 if the appropriate mode is supported.
Those mixes returned as supported are guaranteed for all primitive types. For more information, see "GpiSetMix" in Graphics Programming Interface Programming Reference.
CAPS_VIO_LOADABLE_FONTS
