The PALETTEINDEX macro accepts an index to a logical-color palette entry and returns a palette-entry specifier consisting of a COLORREF value that specifies the color associated with the given index. An application using a logical palette can pass this specifier, instead of an explicit red, green, blue (RGB) value, to GDI functions that expect a color. This allows the function to use the color in the specified palette entry.
Syntax
COLORREF PALETTEINDEX(
WORD i
);
Parameters
i
An index to the palette entry containing the color to be used for a graphics operation.
Return value
Type: COLORREF
The return value is a logical-palette index specifier.
