L_LTPNT_API L_INT L_PntPickColor(pPaint, UserDC, nX, nY, pcrDestColor)
Gets the color at the specified position.
Pointer to a paint handle.
Handle to a device context, such as a screen, to use as a display surface. This parameter can also be NULL. . The mapping mode of the device context must be MM_TEXT.
X-coordinate of the position to get its color.
Y-coordinate of the position to get its color.
Pointer to a COLORREF value to be updated with the color at the specified position.
Value | Meaning |
---|---|
SUCCESS | The function was successful. |
< 1 | An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes. |
If the user has set a bitmap in the toolkit, using the function L_PntSetMetrics, then the toolkit will get the color at the specified position of the bitmap. Otherwise, the toolkit will get the color from the specified position of the specified device context.
If the UserDC is not NULL, the user should set the DC boundaries before calling this function, by calling L_PntSetDCExtents.
