LVectorWindow::HandlePalette

Summary

Call this function to let the vector window automatically handle the palette based on the specified message.

Syntax

#include "ltwrappr.h"

L_BOOL LVectorWindow::HandlePalette(uMsg, wParam, lParam)

Parameters

UINT uMsg

The window message.

WPARAM wParam

The first parameter of the window message.

LPARAM lParam

The second parameter of the window message.

Returns

Value	Meaning
TRUE	The vector window was repainted.
FALSE	The vector window was not repainted.

Comments

This function works with the following Windows messages:

WM_PALETTECHANGED
WM_QUERYNEWPALETTE
WM_SYSCOLORCHANGE

This function will respond to these messages by automatically handling palette issues properly.

You are responsible for calling this function with the appropriate window message to let the class object's window respond to palette changes.

Example

The following example derives a class from LVectorWindow, and overrides HandlePalette, OnPaletteChanged, OnQueryNewPalette, OnSysColorChange, StartChanging, EndChanging member functions. The result is class that displays all vector window messages in the vector window title bar. To use this example, derive a class from LMyVectorWindow, and use the class object as you would a LVectorWindow object.
