The study of Programming Windows with MFC-Palette

1.Create Palette

 

   struct

   {

       LOGPALETTE lp;

       PALETTEENTRY pe[31];

   }plp;

   LOGPALETTE *plg=(LOGPALETTE*) &plp;//why is it converted?

   plg->palVersion = 0x300;
   plg->palNumEntries = 32;

 

   for(int i=0;i<32;i++)

  {

     plg->palPalEntry[i].peRed = i * 8;
     plg->palPalEntry[i].peGreen = 0;
     plg->palPalEntry[i].peBlue = 0;
     plg->palPalEntry[i].peFlags = 0;

   }

   CPalette palette;

   palette.CreatePalette(plg);

   //palette.CreateHalftonePalette(plg); 

   //palette.Attach(::CreateHalftonePalette(NULL));

 

2.Initialize Palette and Draw with it

   void CMyView::OnPaint()

   {

        CPaintDC dc(this);

        CPalette *pOldPalette=dc.SelectPalette(&m_nPalette,FALSE);

        dc.RealizePalette();

 

 

        CPen pen1(PS_SOLID,16,RGB(222,104,245);

        CPen pen2(PS_SOLID,16,PALETTERGB(12,204,120));

        CPen pen3(PS_SOLID,16,PALETTEINDEX(3));

 

        dc.MoveTo(0,0);

        CPen *pOldPen=dc.SelectObject(pen1);

        dc.LineTo (300, 0);         // Nearest static color
        dc.SelectObject (&pen2);
        dc.LineTo (150, 200);       // Nearest static or palette color
        dc.SelectObject (&pen3);
        dc.LineTo (0, 0);           // Exact palette color
        dc.SelectObject (pOldPen);

 

        dc.SelectPalette(pOldPalette,FALSE);

   }

      ON_WM_QUERYNEWPALETTE()

      ..............

      BOOL CMainWindow::OnQueryNewPalette()

      {

              CPaintDC dc(this);

              CPalette *pOldPalette=dc.SelectPalette(&m_nPalette,FALSE);

              UINT nCount;

              if(nCount=dc.RealizePalette())

                       Invalidate();

              dc.SelectPalette(pOldPalette,FALSE);

              return nCount;

      }

 

      ON_WM_PALETTECHANGE()

      ................

      void CMainWindow::OnPaletteChange(CWnd* pFocusWnd)

      {

              if(m_pFocusWnd!=this)

              {

     

                    CPaintDC dc(this);

                    CPalette *pOldPalette=dc.SelectPalette(&m_nPalette,FALSE);

                    if(dc.RealizePalette())

                         Invalidate();

                    dc.SelectPalette(pOldPalette,FALSE); 

              }

      }

 

   4.Handling Palette Messages in Document/View Applications

      put the OnQueryNewPalette and OnPaletteChanged handlers in the view class, but that won't work because views don't receive palette messages—only top-level windows do.

 

     BOOL CMainWnd::OnQueryNewPalette()

     {

          CDocument *pDoc=GetActiveDocument();

          if(pDoc!=NULL)

             pDoc->UpdateAllView(NULL);

          return TRUE;

     }

     BOOL CMainWnd::OnPaletteChange(CWnd* pFocusWnd)  

    {

          if(m_pFocusWnd!=this)

          {

     

                   CDocument *pDoc=GetActiveDocument();

                   if(pDoc!=NULL)

                        pDoc->UpdateAllView(NULL);

           }

     }

 

   5.Message Macro

      ON_WM_QUERYNEWPALETTE()                BOOL OnQuerryNewPalette()

      ON_WM_PALETTECHANGE()                     void OnPaletteChange(CWnd* pFocusWnd)

      ON_WM_ERASEBKGRD()                           BOOL OnEraseBkgnd()
