ISnapinAbout::GetSnapinImage method (mmc.h)

  • Article

The ISnapinAbout::GetSnapinImage method enables the console to obtain the snap-in's main icon to be used in the About box.

Syntax

HRESULT GetSnapinImage(
  [out] HICON *hAppIcon
);

Parameters

[out] hAppIcon

A pointer to the handle to the main icon of the snap-in that is to be used in the About property page.

Return value

This method can return one of these values.

Remarks

For bitmaps, MMC requires a specific background color so it can generate a transparency mask. Icons, however, have built-in transparency so MMC does not require a specific background color.

MMC creates a copy of the returned icon. The snap-in can free the icon when the ISnapinAbout interface is released.

Requirements
