The PALETTEINDEX macro accepts an index to a logical-color palette entry and returns a palette-entry specifier consisting of a 32-bit COLORREF value that specifies the color associated with the given index. An application using a logical color palette can pass this specifier, instead of an explicit red, green, blue (RGB) value, to GDI functions that expect a color. This allows the function to use the color in the specified palette entry.
COLORREF PALETTEINDEX(
| WORD wPaletteIndex | // index to palette entry |
| ); |
Parameters
wPaletteIndex
Specifies an index to the palette entry containing the color to be used for a graphics operation.
Return Values
The return value is a logical-palette index specifier.
Remarks
The PALETTEINDEX macro is defined as follows:
#define PALETTEINDEX(i) /
((COLORREF) (0x01000000 | (DWORD) (WORD) (i)))
