DrawTextBoxMatrixA
Text, Page layout
Description
The trailing A denotes the ANSI (char) DLL entry point; the ActiveX/COM surface exposes only the Unicode form. Behaviour is identical to DrawTextBoxMatrix and string arguments are interpreted using the current SetAnsiMode code page
This function is similar to the DrawTextBox function but the position/scaling/rotation is specified using a transformation matrix.
The vertical alignment can be set using the Options parameter, and the horizontal alignment can be set with the SetTextAlign function. The text will be word-wrapped to fit inside the bounding box.
