Send Feedback

These values are flags used to identify the numerical formats of pixels in images.

Value	Description
PixelFormatIndexed	Is an indexes into a palette.
PixelFormatGDI	Is a GDI-supported format.
PixelFormatAlpha	Has an alpha component.
PixelFormatPAlpha	Is the pre-multiplied alpha.
PixelFormatExtended	Is extended color 16 bits/channel.
PixelFormatCanonical	Is in canonical format.
PixelFormatUndefined	Is in an undefined format.
PixelFormatDontCare	Is any format.
PixelFormat1bppIndexed	Is the 1 bit-per-pixel indexed color bitmap. Definition: (1 | ( 1 << 8) | PixelFormatIndexed | PixelFormatGDI)
PixelFormat4bppIndexed	Is 4bpp indexed color. Definition: (2 | ( 4 << 8) | PixelFormatIndexed | PixelFormatGDI)
PixelFormat8bppIndexed	Is 8bpp indexed color. Definition: (3 | ( 8 << 8) | PixelFormatIndexed | PixelFormatGDI)
PixelFormat16bppGrayScale	Is 16bpp grayscale. Definition: (4 | (16 << 8) | PixelFormatExtended)
PixelFormat16bppRGB555	Is 16bpp RGB 5-5-5 (blue in low-order bits). Definition: (5 | (16 << 8) | PixelFormatGDI)
PixelFormat16bppRGB565	Is 16bpp RGB 5-6-5. Definition: (6 | (16 << 8) | PixelFormatGDI)
PixelFormat16bppARGB1555	Is 16bpp ARGB 1-5-5-5. Definition: (7 | (16 << 8) | PixelFormatAlpha | PixelFormatGDI)
PixelFormat24bppRGB	Is 24bpp RGB (blue in low-order byte). Definition: (8 | (24 << 8) | PixelFormatGDI)
PixelFormat32bppRGB	Is 32bpp RGB (high order byte unused) Definition: (9 | (32 << 8) | PixelFormatGDI)
PixelFormat32bppARGB	Is 32bpp ARGB, non-premultiplied alpha. Definition: (10 | (32 << 8) | PixelFormatAlpha | PixelFormatGDI | PixelFormatCanonical)
PixelFormat32bppPARGB	Is 32bpp ARGB, premultiplied alpha. Definition: (11 | (32 << 8) | PixelFormatAlpha | PixelFormatPAlpha | PixelFormatGDI)
PixelFormat48bppRGB	Is 48bpp RGB. Definition: (12 | (48 << 8) | PixelFormatExtended)
PixelFormat64bppARGB	Is 64bpp ARGB, non-premultiplied alpha Definition: (13 | (64 << 8) | PixelFormatAlpha | PixelFormatCanonical | PixelFormatExtended)
PixelFormat64bppPARGB	Is 64bpp ARGB, premultiplied alpha. Definition: (14 | (64 << 8) | PixelFormatAlpha | PixelFormatPAlpha | PixelFormatExtended)
PixelFormatMax	The underlying value of this macro can be used literally as the upper bound of a loop through all the other pixel formats.

Remarks

Pixel formats that support a 16-bit per color component are called extended formats.

The two 32bpp ARGB formats and the two 64bpp ARGB formats are called canonical formats.

Color values for extended pixel formats are interpreted in XsRGB linear space. Color values for other pixel formats are interpreted in sRGB space.

Alpha values are always interpreted in linear space.

Requirements

OS Versions: Windows CE 5.0 and later.
