DrawDibProfileDisplay function (vfw.h)

  • Article

The DrawDibProfileDisplay function determines settings for the display system when using DrawDib functions.

Syntax

LRESULT VFWAPI DrawDibProfileDisplay(
  LPBITMAPINFOHEADER lpbi
);

Parameters

lpbi

Pointer to a BITMAPINFOHEADER structure that contains bitmap information. You can also specify NULL to verify that the profile information is current. If the profile information is not current, DrawDib will rerun the profile tests to obtain a current set of information. When you call DrawDibProfileDisplay with this parameter set to NULL, the return value is meaningless.

Return value

Returns a value that indicates the fastest drawing and stretching capabilities of the display system. This value can be zero if the bitmap format is not supported or one or more of the following values.

PD_CAN_DRAW_DIB
