L_DicomGetOverlayBitmapList

#include "ltdic.h"

L_UINT16 EXT_FUNCTION L_DicomGetOverlayBitmapList(hDS, uOverlayIndex, hList, uOverlayFrameIndex, uCount, uFlags)

HDICOMDS hDS;	/* a DICOM handle */
L_UINT uOverlayIndex;	/* the overlay index */
HBITMAPLIST hList;	/* handle to the list of bitmaps */
L_UINT32 uOverlayFrameIndex;	/* position of the first frame to get*/
L_UINT32 uCount;	/* number of frames to retrieve into the bitmap list */
L_UINT uFlags;	/* reserved for future use */

Loads the bitmap list with frames from the "Overlay Data" (60xx, 3000) element.

Parameter	Description
hDS	A DICOM handle.
uOverlayIndex	The index of the overlay for which to get the frames. This index is zero-based.
hList	Handle to the list of bitmaps.
uOverlayFrameIndex	Position of the first frame to load. Use zero-based indexing. For example, if there are 5 bitmaps in a list, the index of the last one is 4.
uCount	Number of frames to load into the bitmap list.
uFlags	Reserved for future use. Pass 0.

Returns

0	The function was successful.
>0	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

Before calling this function you must call L_DicomGetOverlayAttributes. The nNumFramesInOverlay member of the OVERLAYATTRIBUTES structure will be filled with the number of frames under an overlay.

As an example, if you wish to load 5 frames starting with the 1st frame in the "Overlay Data", call this function with uOverlayFrameIndex set to 0 and uCount set to 5.
