Dialog Based Initialization (Delphi 4.0)

The Color Conversion C API provides a color space dialog that can be used to initialize a conversion. To do a dialog based initialization follow the steps below:

  1. At the beginning of the Unit1 file, add LTDLLUNT, LTDLLTYP, and LTDLLDEF to the uses section.

  2. Use the following code to implement using the color space dialog for initializing:

    function TForm1.ColorDlg_RGBToLAB({in}pSrcRGB, {out}pDstLAB: Pointer; {in}nWidth, {out}nHeight: Integer) : {ret}Integer; 
    var 
    ClrHandle : THandle; (* color handle *) 
    ret: Integer; (* return value *) 
    begin 
    (* 
    ****************************************************************** 
    * Simple conversion from RGB to CIELab using the LEAD color dialog * 
    * Parameters : * 
    * pSrcRGB : 24 bit RGB data, this is the input image data * 
    * pDstLAB : 24 bit CIELab data, this is the output image data * 
    * nWidth : Width of the image * 
    * nHeight : Height of the image * 
    * Returns SUCCESS when successful or an error code otherwise * 
    ****************************************************************** 
    *) 
    (* 
    * when the dialog appears choose RGB to LAB conversion from 
    * the Miscellaneous options 
    *) 
    ret := L_ClrDlg(DLG_LAB, (* CIELAb color dialog *) 
    Handle, (* Handle to parent window *) 
    @ClrHandle, (* I need a color handle *) 
    nil (* no need for a CONVERSION_PARAMS data *) 
    ); 
    (* do we have a valid handle *) 
    if ret <> SUCCESS then 
       Result := ret 
    else 
       begin 
    (* do the conversion from RGB to CIELab *) 
    ret := L_ClrConvert (ClrHandle, 
    pSrcRGB, 
    pDstLAB, 
    nWidth, 
    nHeight, 
    0, 
    0); 
    if ret <> SUCCESS then 
       begin 
    (* free before leaving *) 
    L_ClrFree (ClrHandle); 
    Result := ret; 
    end 
    else 
       begin 
    (* do not forget to free every thing *) 
    ret := L_ClrFree (ClrHandle); 
    Result := ret; 
    end; 
    end; 
    end;
