DISPLAYCONFIG_PIXELFORMAT enumeration (wingdi.h)

  • Article

The DISPLAYCONFIG_PIXELFORMAT enumeration specifies pixel format in various bits per pixel (BPP) values.

Syntax

typedef enum {
  DISPLAYCONFIG_PIXELFORMAT_8BPP = 1,
  DISPLAYCONFIG_PIXELFORMAT_16BPP = 2,
  DISPLAYCONFIG_PIXELFORMAT_24BPP = 3,
  DISPLAYCONFIG_PIXELFORMAT_32BPP = 4,
  DISPLAYCONFIG_PIXELFORMAT_NONGDI = 5,
  DISPLAYCONFIG_PIXELFORMAT_FORCE_UINT32 = 0xffffffff
} DISPLAYCONFIG_PIXELFORMAT;

Constants

 
DISPLAYCONFIG_PIXELFORMAT_8BPP
Value: 1
Indicates 8 BPP format.
DISPLAYCONFIG_PIXELFORMAT_16BPP
Value: 2
Indicates 16 BPP format.
DISPLAYCONFIG_PIXELFORMAT_24BPP
Value: 3
Indicates 24 BPP format.
DISPLAYCONFIG_PIXELFORMAT_32BPP
Value: 4
Indicates 32 BPP format.
DISPLAYCONFIG_PIXELFORMAT_NONGDI
Value: 5
Indicates that the current display is not an 8, 16, 24, or 32 BPP GDI desktop mode. For example, a call to the QueryDisplayConfig function returns DISPLAYCONFIG_PIXELFORMAT_NONGDI if a DirectX application previously set the desktop to A2R10G10B10 format. A call to the SetDisplayConfig function fails if any pixel formats for active paths are set to DISPLAYCONFIG_PIXELFORMAT_NONGDI.
DISPLAYCONFIG_PIXELFORMAT_FORCE_UINT32
Value: 0xffffffff
Forces this enumeration to compile to 32 bits in size. Without this value, some compilers would allow this enumeration to compile to a size other than 32 bits. You should not use this value.
