LOGBRUSH (Compact 2013)

3/28/2014

This structure defines the style, color, and pattern of a logical brush.

Syntax

typedef struct tagLOGBRUSH { 
  UINT lbStyle; 
  COLORREF lbColor; 
  LONG lbHatch; 
} LOGBRUSH; 

Members

• lbStyle
  Specifies the brush style.

  It is one of the following styles.

  Value	Description
  BS_DIBPATTERN	A pattern brush defined by a device-independent bitmap (DIB) specification. If lbStyle is BS_DIBPATTERN, the lbHatch member contains a handle to a packed DIB.
  BS_DIBPATTERN8X8	Same as BS_DIBPATTERN.
  BS_DIBPATTERNPT	A pattern brush defined by a device-independent bitmap (DIB) specification. If lbStyle is BS_DIBPATTERNPT, the lbHatch member contains a pointer to a packed DIB.
  BS_HATCHED	Not supported.
  BS_HOLLOW	Not supported.
  BS_NULL	Same as BS_HOLLOW.
  BS_PATTERN	Pattern brush defined by a memory bitmap.
  BS_PATTERN8X8	Same as BS_PATTERN.
  BS_SOLID	Solid brush.

• lbColor
  Specifies the color in which the brush is to be drawn. If lbStyle is the BS_PATTERN style, lbColor is ignored.

  If lbStyle is BS_DIBPATTERN or BS_DIBPATTERNBT, the low-order word of lbColor specifies whether the bmiColors members of the BITMAPINFO structure contain explicit RGB values or indices into the currently realized logical palette.

  The lbColor member must be one of the following values.

  Value	Description
  DIB_PAL_COLORS	The color table consists of an array of 16-bit indices into the currently realized logical palette.
  DIB_RGB_COLORS	The color table contains literal RGB values.

• lbHatch
  Specifies a hatch style. The meaning depends on the brush style defined by lbStyle.

  If lbStyle is BS_DIBPATTERN, the lbHatch member contains a handle to a packed DIB.

  If lbStyle is BS_DIBPATTERNPT, the lbHatch member contains a pointer to a packed DIB.

  It can be one of the following values.

  Value	Description
  HS_BDIAGONAL	A 45-degree upward, left-to-right hatch
  HS_CROSS	Horizontal and vertical cross-hatch
  HS_DIAGCROSS	45-degree crosshatch
  HS_FDIAGONAL	A 45-degree downward, left-to-right hatch
  HS_HORIZONTAL	Horizontal hatch
  HS_VERTICAL	Vertical hatch

  If lbStyle is BS_PATTERN, lbHatch is a handle to the bitmap that defines the pattern.

  The bitmap cannot be a DIB section bitmap, which is created by the CreateDIBSection function.

  If lbStyle is BS_SOLID, lbHatch is ignored.

Remarks

Although lbColor controls the foreground color of a hatch brush, the SetBkMode and SetBkColor functions control the background color.
