InvertRgn inverts the colors of all the pixels inside a region on a given device. The inverse of the pixels is calculated by doing a binary NOT operation on the RGB color value of each pixel. The function returns 0 if an error occured, or a non-zero value if successful.

hdc

A device context to the device to invert the pixels within a region of.

hRgn

A handle to the region on the device to invert.

Example:

' Invert the pixels within an elliptical region on window Form1.  The ' elliptical region has a bounding rectangle of (20,30)-(150,110). Dim hrgn As Long  ' handle to the region to invert Dim retval As Long  ' return value ' Create the elliptical region to invert and get a handle to it. hrgn = CreateEllipticRgn(20,30,150,110) ' Invert that region in window Form1. retval = InvertRgn(Form1.hDC, hrgn) ' Delete the region to free up resources. retval = DeleteObject(hrgn)
