| UINT GetSystemPaletteUse(hdc) | |||||
| HDC hdc; | /* handle of device context | */ | |||
The GetSystemPaletteUse function retrieves the current state of the physical palette for the given device context.
hdc
Identifies the device context.
The return value specifies the current state of the physical palette if the function is successful. It can be any of the following values:
| Value | Meaning |
| SYSPAL_NOSTATIC | The system palette contains no static colors except black and white. |
| SYSPAL_STATIC | The system palette contains static colors which will not change when an application realizes its logical palette. |
| SYSPAL_ERROR | The given device-context is invalid or does not support a color palette. |
By default, the physical palette contains 20 static colors which are not changed when an application realizes its logical palette. An application can gain access to most of these colors by calling the SetSystemPaletteUse function.
The device context that is identified by hdc must represent a device that supports color palettes.
