#define INCL_GPILOGCOLORTABLE
 
BOOL GpiQueryColorData(hps, clData, alData)
HPS hps;         /* presentation-space handle */
LONG clData;     /* number of elements        */
PLONG alData;    /* three-element array       */
 
The GpiQueryColorData function retrieves the format flag and index-value
range for the current logical color table. The format flag specifies whether
the color table has the default, indexed-RGB, or RGB format. The index-value
range specifies the first and last indexes in the table. (These apply to
color tables having the default or indexed RGB formats.)
 
The function typically copies the format flags and the first and last index
values to the array pointed to by the alData parameter; however, the
function uses the clData parameter to determine the number of values to
copy. The clData parameter must be set to 3 in order to copy all values.
 
Parameter  Description
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
hps        Identifies the presentation space.
 
clData     Specifies the number of values to copy to the array pointed to by
           the alData parameter.
 
alData     Points to the array that receives the format flag and index-value
           range. The elements of the array have the following meanings:

           QCD_LCT_FORMAT   Specifies the format of color table. It is
                            LCOLF_DEFAULT if the current color table is the
                            default color table; LCOLF_INDRGB if the color
                            table translates indices to RGB color values; or
                            LCOLF_RGB if the color-table indices and RGB
                            color values are equal.
 
           QCD_LCT_LOINDEX  Specifies the smallest color index. For the
                            default color table, the smallest index is
                            zero.
 
           QCD_LCT_HIINDEX  Specifies the largest color index. For the
                            default color table, the largest index is one
                            less than the maximum number of entries in the
                            table.
 
Return Value
 
The return value is GPI_OK if the function is successful or GPI_ERROR if an
error occurred.
 
Errors
 
Use the WinGetLastError function to retrieve the error value, which may be
one of the following:
 
     PMERR_INV_HPS
     PMERR_PS_BUSY
 
Example
 
This example uses the GpiQueryColorData function to retrieve the smallest
color-table index. The GpiQueryLogColorTable function is then used to
retrieve the RGB color value for this index.
 
LONG alData[3];
LONG alColor[1];
 
GpiQueryColorData(hps, 3L, alData);
GpiQueryLogColorTable(hps, 0L, alData[QCD_LCT_LOINDEX], 1L, alColor);
