Description |
|
lpFileName |
LPSTR |
Points to a buffer containing the path & filename of the image to open. |
|
lpExt |
LPSTR |
Can be set to NULL. Gives ImageMan a hint as to the type of image being opened. |
Return Value
The return value specifies the handle used to refer to the image. It is NULL if the file could not be opened.
Comments
ImageMan will quickly automatically detect the format of any image passed to it; therefore the lpExt parameter is no longer required. If set, ImageMan will try to load the image as that type first, but will still auto-detect the proper format.
