Windows-format metafiles

[Aric Stewart]

Hello all,

I am doing so work trying to flesh out he implementation of
SetWinMetaFileBits and as such need documentation on Windows-format
metafiles (not enhanced metafiles i have that) There must exist specs
and documentation from old 3.1 days, but I am having no luck finding it.

Does anyone have pointers as to where i could find a spec for the
windows format metafiles to help me out?

thanks

I don't think you want to do it this way.  Create a emf dc with
CreateEnhMetaFile and play the orig metafile onto it with
PlayMetaFile(Record).  You may need to trap the odd record before you
play it but it should be a lot easier.

Huw.
