| HBRUSH CreatePatternBrush(hbmp) | |||
| HBITMAP hbmp; |
The CreatePatternBrush function creates a logical brush using the pattern specified by the hbmp parameter.
hbmp
Identifies the bitmap.
The return value identifies a logical brush if the function is successful. Otherwise, it is NULL.
A pattern brush is an 8-pixel by 8-pixel bitmap that Windows uses to paint the interior of filled objects.
Once an application has created a brush by calling CreatePatternBrush, it can select that brush into any device context by calling SelectObject.
A pattern brush can be deleted without affecting the associated bitmap by using the DeleteObject function. This means the bitmap can be used to create any number of pattern brushes.
A brush created using a monochrome (one bit per pixel) bitmap is drawn using the text and background colors of the device context it is drawn to. Pixels represented by a 0 bit will be drawn with the current text color, and pixels represented by a 1 bit will be drawn with the current background color.
