Applications use the methods of the IDirectDrawPaletteinterface to create DirectDrawPalette objects and work with system-level variables. This section is a reference to the methods of this interface.
The methods of the IDirectDrawPaletteinterface can be organized into the following groups:
| Allocating memory | Initialize |
| Palette capabilities | GetCaps |
| Palette entries | GetEntries |
| SetEntries |
The IDirectDrawPaletteinterface, like all COM interfaces, inherits the IUnknowninterface methods. The IUnknowninterface supports the following three methods:
| IUnknown | AddRef |
| QueryInterface | |
| Release |
You can use the LPDIRECTDRAWPALETTEdata type to declare a variable that contains a pointer to an IDirectDrawPaletteinterface. The Ddraw.h header file declares the data type with the following code:
typedef struct IDirectDrawPalette FAR *LPDIRECTDRAWPALETTE;
