LDicomDS::GetOverlayBitmapList

#include "ltdic.h"

L_UINT16 LDicomDS::GetOverlayBitmapList(uOverlayIndex, hList, uOverlayFrameIndex, uCount, uFlags)

L_UINT uOverlayIndex;	/* index */
HBITMAPLIST hList;	/* handle */
L_UINT32 uOverlayFrameIndex;	/* position of the first frame */
L_UINT32 uCount;	/* number of frames */
L_UINT uFlags;	/* reserved for future use */

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

Parameter	Description
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 be loaded. 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 LDicomDS::GetOverlayAttributes. The nNumFramesInOverlay member of the OVERLAYATTRIBUTES structure will be updated 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.
