Parameters

consoleOutput  IntPtr

A handle to the console screen buffer.

The handle must have the StandardRightsWrite access right.

buffer  IntPtr

The data to be written to the console screen buffer.

This pointer is treated as the origin of a two-dimensional array of CharInfo structures whose size is specified by the bufferSize parameter.

bufferSize  ConsoleCoordinate

The size of the buffer pointed to by the buffer parameter, in character cells.

The X member is the number of columns; the Y member is the number of rows.

bufferCoord  ConsoleCoordinate

The coordinates of the upper-left cell in the buffer pointed to by the lpBuffer parameter.

The X member is the column, and the Y member is the row.

refWriteRegion  NativeRectangleSmall

A pointer to a NativeRectangleSmall structure.

On input, the structure members specify the upper-left and lower-right coordinates of the console screen buffer rectangle to write to.

On output, the structure members specify the actual rectangle that was used.

Return Value

If the function fails, the return value is .
