WcsSetDefaultColorProfile function (icm.h)

  • Article

Sets the default color profile name for the specified profile type in the specified profile management scope.

Note

This API does not support "advanced color" profiles for HDR monitors. Use ColorProfileSetDisplayDefaultAssociation for managing advanced color profiles.

Syntax

BOOL WcsSetDefaultColorProfile(
  WCS_PROFILE_MANAGEMENT_SCOPE scope,
  PCWSTR                       pDeviceName,
  COLORPROFILETYPE             cptColorProfileType,
  COLORPROFILESUBTYPE          cpstColorProfileSubType,
  DWORD                        dwProfileID,
  LPCWSTR                      pProfileName
);

Parameters

scope

A WCS_PROFILE_MANAGEMENT_SCOPE value that specifies the scope of this profile management operation.

pDeviceName

A pointer to the name of the device for which the default color profile is to be set. If NULL, a device-independent default profile is used.

cptColorProfileType

A COLORPROFILETYPE value that specifies the color profile type.

cpstColorProfileSubType

A COLORPROFILESUBTYPE value that specifies the color profile subtype.

dwProfileID

The ID of the color space that the color profile represents. This is a custom ID value used to uniquely identify the color space profile within your application.

pProfileName

A pointer to a buffer that holds the name of the color profile. See Remarks.

Return value

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

If the pProfileName parameter is NULL and the profileManagementScope parameter is WCS_PROFILE_MANAGEMENT_SCOPE_CURRENT_USER, subsequent calls to WcsSetDefaultColorProfile will return the system-wide default profile.

If profileManagementScope is WCS_PROFILE_MANAGEMENT_SCOPE_CURRENT_USER, this function is executable in Least-Privileged User Account (LUA) context. Otherwise, administrative privileges are required. The specified profile must already be installed, but it may be not yet associated with the specified device in the specified profile management scope.

If profileManagementScope is WCS_PROFILE_MANAGEMENT_SCOPE_CURRENT_USER, this function will not correctly function if launched from system context and not a User Account.

When WcsSetDefaultColorProfile is called to set a device model profile DMP as the default profile for the RGB or custom working space, only a DMP profile that is of type RGBVirtualDevice, LCD, or CRT is valid; all others are invalid.

When WcsSetDefaultColorProfile is called to set an International Color Consortium (ICC) profile as the default profile for the RGB or custom working space, only an ICC profile with class "spac" or "disp", and "RGB" color space is valid; all others are invalid.

See notes on valid profile type/subtype combinations.
