LoadIconCache

Preflight loading of icon elements for drawing

#include <Icons.h> Finder Interface

OSErr LoadIconCache ( theRect, alignment, transform; theSuite );

Rect *theRect ; rectangle in which to draw

short alignment ; alignment for icon

long transform ; transform of icon (see below)

Handle theSuite ; icon family to choose icon from

returns Error Code; 0 = no error

LoadIconCache allows you to preflight the loading of certain elements of

your icon cache. This is handy when you suspect that certain drawing

operations will occur at a time not convenient for you to load your icon data

(for example, when your resource fork might not be in the open chain).

LoadIconCache takes the same parameters as PlotIconSuite and uses the

same criterion to select the icon to load. Be sure that the grafPort is set

properly before you make this call, since it is part of the criterion for

determining which icon to load.

Notes: This routine is not currently documented in MPW header files (hence, it is

not in any THINK C or THINK Pascal header file either). The information

given above comes from Macintosh Technical Note #306. This tech. note

also gives the inline glue for the call as follows:

pascal OSErr LoadIconCache (const Rect * theRect, short alignment, long

transform, Handle theSuite ) = {0x303C, 0x0606, 0xABC9};
