ICDecompressSetPalette

The ICDecompressSetPalette macro specifies a palette for a video decompression driver to use if it is decompressing to a format that uses a palette. You can use this macro or explicitly call the ICM_DECOMPRESS_SET_PALETTE message.

ICDecompressSetPalette(

hic,
lpbiPalette
);

Parameters
lpbiPalette

Address of a BITMAPINFOHEADER structure whose color table contains the colors that should be used if possible. You can specify zero to use the default set of output colors.

Return Values
Returns ICERR_OK if the decompression driver can precisely decompress images to the suggested palette using the set of colors as they are arranged in the palette. Returns ICERR_UNSUPPORTED otherwise.

Remarks
This macro should not affect decompression already in progress; rather, colors passed using this message should be returned in response to future ICDecompressGetFormat and ICDecompressGetPalette macros. Colors are sent back to the decompression driver in a future ICDecompressBegin macro.

This macro is used primarily when a driver decompresses images to the screen and another application that uses a palette is in the foreground, forcing the decompression driver to adapt to a foreign set of colors.

    Nostalgia .Net     .Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native.
