TControl.GetPalette Method
TControl Class | TControl Members | Controls Namespace | Description | See Also
Collapse All

Returns the handle to a palette for use by the control.

Pascal
function GetPalette: HPALETTE; dynamic;
C++
__fastcall HPALETTE GetPalette();
Description

As implemented in TControl, GetPalette returns a null handle, indicating that the control does not have a palette. Override GetPalette to implement derived objects that use a palette. Create a palette handle for the control by a call to the Windows API function CreatePalette. GetPalette should return the palette handle for the control. 

Specifying the palette for a control tells the application that the control's palette needs to be realized and designates the palette to use for realization. 

GetPalette is called only if the run-time video mode requires color palette support, for example, in 256-color mode.
