DoReaderMode function

[DoReaderMode is available through Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2). It may be unavailable in subsequent versions.]

Enables reader mode in a window.

Syntax

void WINAPI DoReaderMode(
  _In_ PREADERMODEINFO prmi
);

Parameters

prmi [in]

Type: PREADERMODEINFO

A pointer to a READERMODEINFO structure that contains initialization information for the reader mode.

Return value

This function does not return a value.

Remarks

Reader mode is activated through supported devices by a mouse click, typically using a third mouse button or scroll wheel. Subsequent mouse movement in a specified area scrolls that area's contents rather than moving a pointer. Outside of that area, the mouse pointer is displayed and operates normally. A second click of the button or scroll wheel releases the device from reader mode.
