TRUECOLORINFO structure (amvideo.h)

[The feature associated with this page, DirectShow, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation. Those features have been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation instead of DirectShow, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]

The TRUECOLORINFO structure contains color palette and bitmask information for a video image.

Syntax

typedef struct tag_TRUECOLORINFO {
  DWORD   dwBitMasks[iMASK_COLORS];
  RGBQUAD bmiColors[iPALETTE_COLORS];
} TRUECOLORINFO;

Members

dwBitMasks[iMASK_COLORS]

Array of color masks (one per color element).

bmiColors[iPALETTE_COLORS]

Remarks

This structure is not used for some RGB formats. For more information about which fields are valid under different circumstances, see the Platform SDK documentation for BITMAPINFO.
