StretchBlt copies a section of an image from one device to another. This function also allows you to change the original size and dimensions of the image section, unlike the related function BitBlt. In addition to using the straight "copy" method, you can specify other ways of copying the image with...
SetBrushOrgEx
SetBrushOrgEx sets the origin point for using a brush on a given device. Note that this function only takes effect on the next brush the device selects -- the currently selected brush in unaffected! The brush origin point determines the offset of the 8x8 block used to fill in areas (the brush). For ...
SetWindowPos
SetWindowPos moves a window to a new location on the screen. Its physical coordinates, dimensions, and Z-order position (the Z-order determines which windows are on top of others) can be set. The function returns 0 if an error occured or 1 if successful. ...
SetTimer

SetFileAttributes
SetFileAttributes changes the attributes of a file or a directory. The four attributes you can set are archive, read-only, hidden, and system status -- the other attributes merely reflect unchangeable properties of the file. Any of the four can be on or off in any order. The function returns 0 if an...
SetSystemCursor
SetSystemCursor changes one of the cursors that Windows provides. For example, this function can change the cursor used to represent the default arrow cursor. Be careful using this function, since this redefines the default cursors instead of simply setting the current look of the cursor. The functi...
SetCursorPos
SetCursorPos sets the position of the mouse cursor. If you try to set the coordinates outside of the range of the display (for example, to (700,40) on a 640x480 display) or outside the confining rectangle (set by ClipCursor), the cursor will just go to the edge of the screen or the rectangle. The fu...
Sleep
Sleep pauses program execution for a certain amount of time. This is more accurate than using a do-nothing loop, waiting for a certain amount of time to pass. The function does not return a
value. ...
SystemTimeToFileTime
SystemTimeToFileTime converts a time and date stored in a SYSTEMTIME structure to an identical time and date stored in a FILETIME structure. The former structure provides a easier way to access a date and time, whereas the latter is used by Windows to identify times and dates associated with files. ...
SetForegroundWindow
SetForegroundWindow makes the specified window the current foreground window and gives it the focus. This function should only be used with windows which your program owns. Of course this function should be used with caution, since the user usually doesn't expect the foreground window to change unex...
ShellExecute
ShellExecute uses the shell to open or print a file or run a program. Under Win 95/98, this function will also open a My Computer or Explorer window to a given directory. If an executable program is specified, Windows will run that program. If a document file is specified, Windows will open or prin...
SYSTEMTIME Structure
SYSTEMTIME-type variables hold an exact date and time, down to the millisecond. There are two ways this structure stores dates: absolute and relative. Absolute dates (the default, regular format) are "normal" dates, such as January 15, 1998 or December 25, 2001. Relative dates are dates such as "the...

SetPolyFillMode
SetPolyFillMode sets the method used by a device to fill polygonal areas and shapes. The two modes differ only over complex overlapping polygons, where the edges of the polygon criss-cross each other inside the interior (see the example for an example of a complex overlapping polygon). The function ...
SetRect
SetRect sets the position and size of a rectangle. The two coordinates specified are the upper-left and lower-right corners of the rectangle. The function returns 0 if an error occured, or 1 if successful. ...
SetRectEmpty
SetRectEmpty sets a rectangle to an empty state. An empty rectangle is one that has a nonpositive width and/or height. In this case, Windows sets the rectangle to (0,0)-(0,0). The function returns 0 if an error occured, or 1 if successful. ...
SetParent
SetParent moves a window from having one parent window to another. If needed, the window itself moves so it can be "inside" its new parent. If successful, the function returns the handle of the moved window's former parent. If it fails, it will instead return 0. ...
SetWindowText
SetWindowText changes the text that appears in the title bar of a window. Although this works with any window, including ones your program doesn't own, other programs won't expect their window titles to be changed, so use this with care on windows you didn't create. The function returns 0 if an erro...
SetActiveWindow
SetActiveWindow makes a given window the active window for the program, giving it the focus. This window only becomes the foreground window if the application which owns it is the currently active program. This function can only be used on windows which the program owns. This function should be used...
ShowWindow
ShowWindow shows (or hides) a window in a certain manner. For example, the function can minimize, maximize, or restore a given window. The function returns 0 if the window had been hidden before the call, or a non-zero value if it had been visible....
SetFilePointer
SetFilePointer moves the position of the file pointer of a currently open file. The file pointer identifies the position in a synchronous (non-overlapped) file where reading from and writing to the file begins. The file must have been opened with at least either read-level or write-level access (or ...
SetCursor
SetCursor sets the image used to represent the mouse cursor. The new cursor can be any valid cursor that has either been created or loaded. If successful, the function returns a handle to the old cursor image. If unsuccessful, the function returns 0. ...
ShowCursor
ShowCursor either shows or hides the mouse cursor. This is not done directly, but rather by incrementing or decrementing a counter. Each function call raises or lowers the counter by 1. If the counter is negative, the cursor is invisible. It if it non-negative, the cursor is visible. The function re...

TextOut

The text will be displayed using the device's currently selected font and text drawing color. The function returns 1 if successful, or 0 if an error occured. ...
TIME_ZONE_INFORMATION
TIME_ZONE_INFORMATION-type variables hold information about the system's selected time zone.
