PALETTEINDEX macro

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 wPaletteIndex
);

Parameters

  • wPaletteIndex
    An index to the palette entry containing the color to be used for a graphics operation.

Return value

The return value is a logical-palette index specifier.
