SetColorProfileElementSize function (icm.h)

Sets the size of a tagged element in an ICC color profile.

Syntax

BOOL SetColorProfileElementSize(
  HPROFILE hProfile,
  TAGTYPE  tagType,
  DWORD    pcbElement
);

Parameters

hProfile

Specifies a handle to the ICC color profile in question.

tagType

Identifies the tagged element.

pcbElement

Specifies the size to set the tagged element to. If cbSize is zero, this function deletes the specified tagged element. If the tag is a reference, only the tag table entry is deleted, not the data.

Return value

If this function succeeds, the return value is TRUE.

If this function fails, the return value is FALSE. For extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

This function will fail if hProfile is not a valid ICC profile.

To create a new tagged element in a color profile, use SetColorProfileElementSize to set the size, then use SetColorProfileElement to set the element value.

If the specified tag already exists in the profile, SetColorProfileElementSize changes the size of the element by truncating it or adding zeroes at the end as the case may be.

If the specified tag already exists and is a reference to another tag, SetColorProfileElementSize creates a new data area for the tag that is not shared.

This function does not support Windows Color System (WCS) profiles CAMP, DMP, and GMMP; because profile elements are implicitly associated with and hard coded to ICC tag types and there exist many robust XML parsing libraries.
