GetColorProfileElementTag

The GetColorProfileElementTag function retrieves the tag name specified by dwIndex in the tag table of a given International Color Consortium (ICC) color profile, where dwIndex is a one-based index into that table.

BOOL WINAPI GetColorProfileElementTag(
  HPROFILE hProfile,  DWORD dwIndex,  PTAGTYPE pTag);

Parameters

  • hProfile
    Specifies a handle to the ICC color profile in question.
  • dwIndex
    Specifies the one-based index of the tag to retrieve.
  • pTag
    Pointer to a variable in which the tag name is to be placed.

Return Values

If this function succeeds, the return value is TRUE.

If this function fails, the return value is FALSE. For extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

This function will fail if hProfile is not a valid ICC profile.

GetColorProfileElementTag can be used to enumerate all tags in a profile after getting the number of tags in the profile using GetCountColorProfileElements.

This function does not support Windows Color System (WCS) profiles CAMP, DMP, and GMMP; because profile elements are implicitly associated with, and hard coded to, ICC tag types and there exist many robust XML parsing libraries.
