GetMonitorColorTemperature function (highlevelmonitorconfigurationapi.h)
Warning
The physical monitor configuration functions work using the VESA Monitor Control Command Set (MCCS) standard over an I2C interface. Many monitors don't fully implement that standard; so your use of these commands might result in undefined monitor behavior. We don't recommend using these functions for arbitrary monitors without physically validating that they work as intended.
Retrieves a monitor's current color temperature.
Syntax
_BOOL GetMonitorColorTemperature(
[in] HANDLE hMonitor,
[out] LPMC_COLOR_TEMPERATURE pctCurrentColorTemperature
);
Parameters
[in] hMonitor
Handle to a physical monitor. To get the monitor handle, call GetPhysicalMonitorsFromHMONITOR or GetPhysicalMonitorsFromIDirect3DDevice9.
[out] pctCurrentColorTemperature
Receives the monitor's current color temperature, specified as a member of the MC_COLOR_TEMPERATURE enumeration.
Return value
If the function succeeds, the return value is TRUE. If the function fails, the return value is FALSE. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
If this function is supported, the GetMonitorCapabilities function returns the MC_CAPS_COLOR_TEMPERATURE flag.
This function takes between 0 and 80 milliseconds to return.
