GXValidateShape

You can use the GXValidateShape function to check the parameters of a shape object.

void GXValidateShape(gxShape target);

target

A reference to a shape object to be validated.

DESCRIPTION

The GXValidateShape function checks parameters for the type, geometry, fill, style, ink, transform, attributes, owner count, and tag list properties for all shape objects. In addition, this function checks any internal caches built for the shape. If one or more of the parameters are not valid, a validation error is posted.

This function is not operational in the non-debugging version of QuickDraw GX.
