LRasterPaint::SetMetrics

#include "Ltwrappr.h"

L_INT LRasterPaint::SetMetrics(UserDC, pBitmap, hRestrictionPalette)

HDC UserDC;

handle to the device context

pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap;

pointer to a bitmap handle

HPALETTE hRestrictionPalette;

palette handle

Sets general painting information for the toolkit.

Parameter

Description

UserDC

Handle to a Windows device context (DC), such as a screen, to use as a display surface. This parameter can also be NULL. The mapping mode of the device context must be MM_TEXT. The toolkit will use this DC for future painting compatibility.

pBitmap

Pointer to a bitmap handle that references the bitmap on which the painting will occur. This parameter can be NULL if the user does not need a bitmap. This toolkit uses the LEAD DIB driver, which supports 1, 4, 8, 16 and 24 bit images. If an image that has some other number of bits per pixel is used, LBitmapBase::ColorRes must be used to change the image to a bits per pixel value supported by the LEAD DIB driver.

hRestrictionPalette

Handle to the palette used to restrict the painting colors. This parameter can be NULL. This function makes a copy of the specified palette handle. Therefore, the handle should be deleted after the function returns.

Returns

SUCCESS

The function was successful.

< 1

An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes

Comments

If the UserDC parameter is NULL, the toolkit will use the screen DC for compatibility issues.

The user should delete UserDC after this function returns.

If hRestrictionPalette is not NULL, painting will be restricted to the nearest colors found in the palette. If hRestrictionPalette is NULL, then no color restriction will be performed by the toolkit.

If pBitmap is not NULL, the toolkit will draw to the bitmap first, then it will draw everything to the device context.
