# SetMetaFileBits(3w)

SetMetaFileBits (GDI.160)

## NAME

SetMetaFileBits - SetMetaFileBits   (GDI.160)

## SYNOPSIS

**HMETAFILE16 SetMetaFileBits(HGLOBAL16 hMem);**

## PARAMETERS

- **HGLOBAL16 hMem**

  Handle to a memory region holding a metafile.

## DESCRIPTION

Trade in a metafile memory handle for a handle to a metafile object. The memory region should hold a proper metafile, otherwise problems will occur when it is used. Validity of the memory is not checked. The function is essentially just the identity function.
