SetDeskCPat

Set desktop to a particular pixel pattern

#include <Windows.h> Window Manager

void SetDeskCPat(deskPixPat );

PixPatHandle deskPixPat; handle to a pixel pattern

This function obtains a PixPatHandle to a desktop pixel pattern.

deskPixPat is the address of a PixPatHandle.

Notes: Not for use by applications, SetDeskCPat assigns the desktop pattern to a

particular pixel pattern, including ones with three or more colors.

Redrawing is automatic. The pixel pattern takes on the current foreground

and background colors if deskPixPat is patType = 0--an old-style

two-color or binary pattern. A NIL value for pixPatHandle results in the

standard desktop pattern described by 'ppat' resource =16.

Changes in the desktop's color pattern can be made by SetDeskCPat but

are normally made through the Control Panel, which is the only way to

change the value of a bit flag called pCDeskPat in parameter RAM.

pCDeskPat, in turn, controls the startup desktop pattern and determines

whether a new pattern (pCDeskPat = 0) or the standard binary pattern

(pCDeskPat = any value except 0) will be used.
