GetNewPalette

Get a handle to a specified 'pltt' resource

#include <Palettes.h> Palette Manager

short paletteID ; resource ID of desired palette

returns PaletteHandle leading to a 'pltt' resource type; 0 =

system palette

GetNewPalette allocates a new Palette data structure and initializes it with

information in the 'pltt' resource type.

paletteID is the resource identifier of the desired palette.

Returns: a PaletteHandle leading to the palette data.

Notes: GetNewPalette is called automatically when you use GetNewCWindow to

open a new color window. A new palette thus initialized is given a paletteID

identical to the window's resource ID. PaletteID = 0 is reserved for the system

palette resource which is given to monochrome windows and color windows that

don't have their own palettes.
