## BUG: DrawFocusRect Fails in MM_LOMETRIC or MM_ISOTROPIC Mode

Q111650

The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) versions 3.0, 3.1

## SYMPTOMS

If DrawFocusRect() is called when the mapping mode is MM_LOMETRIC or MM_ISOTROPIC, no rectangle is drawn.
DrawFocusRect() is documented to take logical units and works properly in MM_TEXT mapping mode. However, if the mapping mode is changed to MM_LOMETRIC or MM_ISOTROPIC, as in the following code fragment, DrawFocusRect() called with an appropriate rectangle (logical units) does not work. Calling Rectangle() with the same rectangle does work.

    case WM_PAINT:
             hDC = BeginPaint(hWnd, &ps);

                SetRect(&rc, 0,0,100,100);
                DrawFocusRect(hDC, &rc);      // Works as documented.

                SetMapMode(hDC, MM_LOMETRIC);
                SetRect(&rc, 1,-200,100,-300);
                DrawFocusRect(hDC, &rc);     // Doesn't do anything.
           Rectangle(hDC, rc.left, rc.top, rc.right, rc.bottom); // Works

                EndPaint(hWnd, &ps);
                break;

## STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in Windows versions 3.0 and 3.1.
