  UINT 
cEntries, 
  CONST PALETTEENTRY* 
lppe
);

lppe

[in] Long pointer to the first member of an array of PALETTEENTRYstructures containing the RGB values and flags.

Return Value

The number of entries that were set in the logical palette indicates success.

Remarks

An application can determine whether or not a device supports palette operations by calling the GetDeviceCapsfunction and specifying the RASTERCAPS constant.

Even if a logical palette has been selected and realized, changes to the palette do not affect the physical palette in the surface. RealizePalettemust be called again to set the new logical palette into the surface.
