CreateHalftonePalette function

The CreateHalftonePalette function creates a halftone palette for the specified device context (DC).

Syntax

Copy

HPALETTE CreateHalftonePalette(
  __in  HDC hdc
);

Parameters

hdc [in]: A handle to the device context.

Return value

If the function succeeds, the return value is a handle to a logical halftone palette.

If the function fails, the return value is zero.

Remarks

An application should create a halftone palette when the stretching mode of a device context is set to HALFTONE. The logical halftone palette returned by CreateHalftonePalette should then be selected and realized into the device context before the StretchBlt or StretchDIBits function is called.

When you no longer need the palette, call the DeleteObject function to delete it.
