LOGBRUSH

2.x

typedef struct tagLOGBRUSH {    /* lb */
    UINT     lbStyle;
    COLORREF lbColor;
    int      lbHatch;
} LOGBRUSH;

The LOGBRUSH structure defines the style, color, and pattern of a physical brush to be created by using the CreateBrushIndirect function.

Members

lbStyle

Specifies the brush style. This member can be one of the following values:

lbColor

Specifies the color in which the brush is to be drawn. If the lbStyle member is the BS_HOLLOW or BS_PATTERN value, lbColor is ignored.

If lpStyle is the BS_DIBPATTERN value, the low-order word of lbColor specifies whether the bmiColors members of the BITMAPINFO structure contain explicit RGB values or indexes into the currently realized logical palette. The lbColor member must be one of the following values:

lbHatch

Specifies a hatch style. The meaning depends on the brush style.

If the lbStyle member is the BS_DIBPATTERN style, the lbHatch member contains a handle to a packed DIB. To obtain this handle, an application calls the GlobalAlloc function to allocate a global memory object and then fills the memory with the packed DIB. A packed DIB consists of a BITMAPINFO structure immediately followed by the array of bytes which define the pixels of the bitmap.

If the lbStyle member is the BS_HATCHED style, the lbHatch member specifies the orientation of the lines used to create the hatch. This member can be one of the following values:

If the lbStyle member is the BS_PATTERN style, lbHatch must be a handle to the bitmap that defines the pattern.

If the lbStyle member is the BS_SOLID or the BS_HOLLOW style, lbHatch is ignored.
