LBitmapBase::SetDataPointer

#include "l_bitmap.h"

virtual L_INT LBitmapBase::SetDataPointer(pData, dwSize)

L_UCHAR *pData;

/* data pointer */

L_UINT32 dwSize;

/* size of the data buffer pointed to by pData */

Sets the data pointer for the bitmap to the specified data pointer pData.

Parameter

Description

pData

Data pointer used to set the bitmaps data pointer.

dwSize

Size of the data buffer pointed to by pData.

Returns

SUCCESS

The function was successful.

< 1

An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

This function can be used to change the data pointer of a bitmap that was created by LBitmapBase::CreateBitmap, or allocated by LBitmapBase::Allocate, with memory type TYPE_USER. The data pointer to of the bitmap is set to the data pointer passed in through pData.

You are responsible for managing the image data. LBitmapBase::Free will not free pData.

The memory buffer pointed to by pData must be valid when the bitmap is being used. If you free a memory buffer that is referenced by a bitmap, you will get access violations when you try to use that bitmap.

If you pass NULL for pData, the bitmap has no bitmap data. You should not try to use a bitmap that has no data pointer.
