COLORREF clrTransparent

COLORREF that represents the transparent color to use for animation playback.

L_UINT nIndex

Position of the bitmap list item. Possible values are:

Example

The following example will change the transparency information
for odd numbered items in the animation list using EnableTransparency,
then reads the new information using IsTransparencyEnabled.

L_INT LAnimationWindow_EnableTransparencyExample(HWND hWndParent) 
{ 
   L_INT nRet; 
   LBase::LoadLibraries(LT_ALL_LEADLIB); //make sure all libraries are loaded 
   LAnimationWindow MyAnimation; 
 
   MyAnimation.SetFileName(MAKE_IMAGE_PATH(TEXT("eye.gif"))); 
   nRet = MyAnimation.Load(); 
   if (nRet==SUCCESS) 
   { 
      L_BOOL   bEnabled; 
      COLORREF crTranparent; 
      L_UINT i; 
 
      MyAnimation.CreateWnd(hWndParent,0, WS_VISIBLE|WS_CHILD|WS_BORDER,0,0,300,300); 
      //change the transparency... 
      for (i=0; i<MyAnimation.GetCount(); i++) 
      { 
           if (i%2) 
           { 
               nRet = MyAnimation.EnableTransparency(TRUE, RGB(i*35 % 256, i*50 % 256, i*75 % 256), i); 
               if(nRet != SUCCESS) 
                  return nRet; 
           } 
      } 
 
      for (i=0; i<MyAnimation.GetCount(); i++) 
      { 
         L_TCHAR szStr[255]; 
 
         //get current transparenct info for each bitmap... 
         nRet =  MyAnimation.IsTransparencyEnabled(&bEnabled, &crTranparent, i); 
         if(nRet != SUCCESS) 
            return nRet; 
         wsprintf(szStr,TEXT("Bitmap[%d] Transparency Info: Enabled= %s Color = &H%08X"),i, (bEnabled?TEXT("YES"):TEXT("NO")), crTranparent); 
         MessageBox(hWndParent, szStr,TEXT("Example"), MB_OK | MB_ICONINFORMATION); 
      } 
   } 
   else 
      return nRet; 
   return SUCCESS;
