GXGetGraphicsClient

You can use the GXGetGraphicsClient function to return the active graphics client to your application.

gxGraphicsClient GXGetGraphicsClient(void);

function result

The active graphics client.

DESCRIPTION

The GXGetGraphicsClient function returns the active graphics client. Each application has its own active graphics client. The only way that the active graphics client is changed within an application is when the application calls the GXSetGraphicsClient function or when a new graphics client is created by the GXNewGraphicsClient call.

Multiple graphics clients are discussed in the section"Working With Multiple Graphics Clients" beginning on page 2-16.

The GXGetGraphicsClients function returns all or some of the graphics clients that have been allocated by QuickDraw GX. This function is described in the next section.
