L_GetBitmapListItem

Summary

Gets a bitmap handle that references a bitmap in a list.

Syntax

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_LTKRN_API L_INT L_GetBitmapListItem(hList, uIndex, pBitmap, uStructSize)

Parameters

L_UINT uIndex

Position of the bitmap in the list. Use zero-based indexing. For example, if there are 10 bitmaps in a list, the index of the last one is 9.

pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap

Pointer to the bitmap handle that will reference the bitmap in the list.

L_UINT uStructSize

Size in bytes, of the structure pointed to by pBitmap, for versioning. Use sizeof(BITMAPHANDLE).

Returns

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

Comments

The bitmap handle that this function gets is a copy of the bitmap handle stored internally in the list. If you modify the bitmap using this handle, you can update the internal bitmap handle to reflect the changes by using the L_SetBitmapListItem function.

You should not use this handle to free the bitmap. Instead, use L_DeleteBitmapListItems.

You cannot use this function to update a bitmap list while it is being used in an animation playback.

Platforms

Win32, x64, Linux.

Example

For complete sample code, refer to the CHILD.C module of the DEMO
example.
This example changes the hue of bitmaps in a list, then updates
the paint palette and the target bitmap's palette for animation playback.
When changing the hue, it preserves the transparent color.
