LPaint::PaintDCBuffer

#include "ltwrappr.h"

virtual L_INT LPaint::PaintDCBuffer(LBuff, nRow, nCount=1, uROP3=SRCCOPY)

LBuffer & LBuff;	/* an LBuffer object that contains the data to paint */
L_INT nRow;	/* first row to paint */
L_INT nCount;	/* number of rows to paint */
L_UINT32 uROP3;	/* windows ROP code for display */

Paints image data into a device context from a buffer.

Parameter	Description
LBuff	A LEAD buffer of type LBuffer that contains the image data to paint.
nRow	The first row to paint. The painted portion of any row may be limited by the bitmap object rectangles.
nCount	The number of rows to paint. The painted portion of any row may be limited by the bitmap object rectangles.. If the image data in LBuff is compressed 1-bit data, you can specify the number of lines as a negative value (-nLines), as explained in Speeding Up 1-Bit Documents.
uROP3	The Windows ROP code that determines how the destination rectangle is updated. This parameter takes the same codes as the Windows BitBlt() function. For ordinary painting, use SRCCOPY.

Returns

SUCCESS	The function was successful.
< 1	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

This function references a LEAD bitmap object, which may or may not have a loaded bitmap. In either case, the following fields must be specified in the LEAD bitmap object:

The Width, Height, BitsPerPixel, Order, and ViewPerspective fields must all be set to the correct values for the image. (You can use the LBitmapBase::Initialize function to set the values.)

The Palette for the bitmap object must be a valid palette (an array of RGBQUAD values). You can create or update the palette using the LBitmapBase::PutColors() function.

Except for the buffer specifications, this function uses source and destination rectangles the same as LPaint::PaintDC. For a complete explanation, refer to LPaint::PaintDC.

You can call LPaint::PaintDCBuffer from a callback function to paint an image while a bitmap is being loaded. This technique is used through the LFile load callback functions.

The LBuff parameter is passed by reference, and is a required parameter.
