ICM-Enabled Device Context Functions

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]

Windows 98 and Windows NT 5.0 work with Microsoft Image Color Management (ICM). ICM technology ensures that a color image, graphic, or text object is rendered as close as possible to its original intent on any device, despite differences in imaging technologies and color capabilities between devices. (For more information, see About Image Color Management Version 2.0.)

There are various functions in the graphics device interface (GDI) that use or operate on color data. The following device context functions are enabled for use with ICM:

CreateCompatibleDC
CreateDC
GetDCBrushColor
GetDCPenColor
ResetDC
SelectObject
SetDCBrushColor
SetDCPenColor
