Remarks

This method behaves the same way in MFC for Windows CE as it does in the standard MFC implementation, except that you must use one of the color index flags from the following list for the nIndex parameter. Do not use an integer value because these flags have different values in MFC for Windows CE than in the standard MFC implementation.

The following tables describes the color index values that can be used for the nIndex parameter.
