Sample Code:
...
using(Graphics g = ctrl.CreateGraphics())
{
IntPtr hDC = g.GetHdc();
string testString = "Hello p/Invoke";
int width = 30;
int[] fi = new int[1];
int[] charExtents = new int[testString.Length];
Size sz;
GetTextExtentExPointW(hDC, testString, testString.Length, width, fit, charExtents, out sz);
...
g.ReleaseHdc(hDC);
}
...
Please add some!
An IntPtr is a pointer to a memory location (unmanaged) that adapts to the platform it is running on (64-bit, etc.) UNLIKE a standard int/Integer. You should always use this type for unmanaged calls that require it, even though an int will appear to work on your development machine.
