int DrawText(
_In_ HDC hDC,
_Inout_ LPCTSTR lpchText,
_In_ int nCount,
_Inout_ LPRECT lpRect,
_In_ UINT uFormat
);

Parameters
hDC [in]
A handle to the device context.
lpchText [in, out]
A pointer to the string that specifies the text to be drawn. If the nCount parameter is -1, the string must be null-terminated.
If uFormat includes DT_MODIFYSTRING, the function could add up to four additional characters to this string. The buffer containing the string should be large enough to accommodate these extra characters.
nCount [in]
The length, in characters, of the string. If nCount is -1, then the lpchText parameter is assumed to be a pointer to a null-terminated string and DrawText computes the character count automatically.
lpRect [in, out]
A pointer to a RECT structure that contains the rectangle (in logical coordinates) in which the text is to be formatted.
uFormat [in]
The method of formatting the text. This parameter can be one or more of the following values.
Value Meaning
DT_CENTER
Centers text horizontally in the rectangle.
