GetObject
The GetObject function obtains information about a specified graphics object. Depending on
the graphics object, the function places a filled-in BITMAP, DIBSECTION, EXTLOGPEN, LOGBRUSH, LOGFONT, or LOGPEN structure, or a count of table entries (for a logical palette), into a
specified buffer.
int GetObject(
HGDIOBJ hgdiobj,
| // handle to graphics object of interest
| int cbBuffer,
| // size of buffer for object information
| LPVOID lpvObject
| // pointer to buffer for object information
| );
|
|
Parameters
hgdiobj
A handle to the graphics object of interest. This can be a handle to one of
the following: a logical bitmap, a brush, a font, a palette, a pen, or a device
independent bitmap created by calling the CreateDIBSection function.
cbBuffer
Specifies the number of bytes of information to be written to the buffer.
lpvObject
Points to a buffer that is to receive the information about the specified
graphics object.
The following table shows the type of information the buffer receives for each
type of graphics object you can specify with hgdiobj:
hgdiobj Type
| Data Written to *lpvObject
| HBITMAP
| BITMAP
| HBITMAP returned from a call to CreateDIBSection
| DIBSECTION, if cbBuffer is set to sizeof(DIBSECTION), or BITMAP, if cbBuffer is set to sizeof(BITMAP)
| HPALETTE
| a WORD count of the number of entries in the logical palette
| HPEN returned from a call to ExtCreatePen
| EXTLOGPEN
| HPEN
| LOGPEN
| HBRUSH
| LOGBRUSH
| HFONT
| LOGFONT
|
If the lpvObject parameter is NULL, the function return value is the number of bytes required
to store the information it writes to the buffer for the specified graphics
object.
Return Values
If the function succeeds, and lpvObject is a valid pointer, the return value is the number of bytes stored into the
buffer.
If the function succeeds, and lpvObject is NULL, the return value is the number of bytes required to hold the
information the function would store into the buffer.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error
information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
The buffer pointed to by the lpvObject parameter must be sufficiently large to receive the information about the
graphics object.
If hgdiobj identifies a bitmap created by calling CreateDIBSection, and the specified buffer is large enough, the GetObject function returns a DIBSECTION structure. In addition, the bmBits member of the BITMAP structure contained within the DIBSECTION will contain a pointer to the bitmap's bit values.
If hgdiobj identifies a bitmap created by any other means, GetObject returns only the width, height, and color format information of the bitmap.
You can obtain the bitmap's bit values by calling the GetDIBits or GetBitmapBits function.
If hgdiobj identifies a logical palette, GetObject retrieves a two-byte integer that specifies the number of entries in the
palette. The function does not retrieve the LOGPALETTE structure defining the palette. To retrieve information about palette
entries, an application can call the GetPaletteEntries function.

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. Net classes. More » |
