Thread: BRUSH PEN Color

Given an HBRUSH or an HPEN, is there any function in GDI to find its color (if possible in a COLOREF) ?

I think you can accomplish this using GetObject.

Code:

COLORREF GetBrushColor( HBRUSH hBrush ) {
  COLORREF color = 0 ;
  LOGBRUSH logBrush ;
  if ( GetObject( hBrush, sizeof(LOGBRUSH), &logBrush ) ) {
    color = logBrush.lbColor ;
  }
  return color ;
}

COLORREF GetPenColor( HPEN hPen ) {
  COLORREF color = 0 ;
  LOGPEN logPen ;
  if ( GetObject( hPen, sizeof(LOGPEN), &logPen ) ) {
    color = logPen.lopnColor ;
  }
  return color ;
}

Thank you; this seems to be much more useful.
