L_LTKRN_API L_INT L_GetBitmapColors(pBitmap, nIndex, nCount, pPalette)

pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap;	/* pointer to the bitmap handle */
L_INT nIndex;	/* index to the first color to get */
L_INT nCount;	/* number of colors to get */
L_RGBQUAD* pPalette;	/* array values that make up your palette */

Loads your palette with selected colors from a bitmap handle's palette.

Parameter	Description
pBitmap	Pointer to the bitmap handle.
nIndex	The index to the first color to get.
nCount	The number of colors to get.
pPalette	The array of RGBQUAD values that make up your palette.

Returns

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

Comments

This function does not support signed data images. It returns the error code ERROR_SIGNED_DATA_NOT_SUPPORTED if a signed data image is passed to this function.

Your palette can be smaller than the bitmap's palette, as long as it is big enough to hold the selected colors. For the reverse action, refer to L_PutBitmapColors.

Example

This example darkens the first 50 colors in a bitmap's palette.
