GXValidateViewGroup

You can use the GXValidateViewGroup function to check the parameters of a view group object.

void GXValidateViewGroup(gxViewGroup target);

target

A reference to a view group object to be validated.

DESCRIPTION

The GXValidateViewGroup function checks parameters for the clip, mapping, dither, halftone, parent view port, child view port list, view device, attributes, owner count, and tag list properties of the view port object and the clip, mapping, bitmap, attributes, and tag list properties of the view device object. In addition, this function checks any internal caches built for the view group. If one or more of the parameters are not valid, QuickDraw GX posts a validation error.

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