LOGBRUSH

  • Article

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

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 Hatched brush.
    BS_HOLLOW Hollow brush.
    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_HOLLOW or 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.

    If lbStyle is BS_HATCHED, the lbHatch member specifies the orientation of the lines used to create the hatch. 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 or BS_HOLLOW, lbHatch is ignored.

Remarks

Windows CE versions 1.0 and 1.01 support only the following lbStyle values:

  • BS_NULL
  • BS_SOLID

Windows CE versions 2.0 and later support the following additional lbStyle values:

  • BS_DIBPATTERNPT
  • BS_PATTERN

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

Requirements

OS Versions: Windows CE 1.0 and later.
Header: Windows.h.
