DESKBANDINFO structure (shobjidl_core.h)

Receives information about a band object. This structure is used with the deprecated IDeskBand::GetBandInfo method.

Syntax

typedef struct DESKBANDINFO {
  DWORD    dwMask;
  POINTL   ptMinSize;
  POINTL   ptMaxSize;
  POINTL   ptIntegral;
  POINTL   ptActual;
  WCHAR    wszTitle[256];
  DWORD    dwModeFlags;
  COLORREF crBkgnd;
} DESKBANDINFO;

Members

dwMask

Type: DWORD

The set of flags that determine which members of this structure are being requested by the caller. One or more of the following values:

DBIM_MINSIZE

ptMinSize is requested.

DBIM_MAXSIZE

ptMaxSize is requested.

DBIM_INTEGRAL

ptIntegral is requested.

DBIM_ACTUAL

ptActual is requested.

DBIM_TITLE

wszTitle is requested.

DBIM_MODEFLAGS

dwModeFlags is requested.

DBIM_BKCOLOR

crBkgnd is requested.

ptMinSize

Type: POINTL

A POINTL structure that receives the minimum size of the band object. The minimum width is given in the POINTL structure's x member and the minimum height is given in the y member.

ptMaxSize

Type: POINTL

A POINTL structure that receives the maximum size of the band object. The maximum height is given in the POINTL structure's y member and the x member is ignored. If the band object has no limit for its maximum height, (LONG)-1 should be used.

ptIntegral

Type: POINTL

A POINTL structure that receives the sizing step value (increment) in which the band object is resized. The vertical step value is given in the POINTL structure's y member and the x member is ignored.

The dwModeFlags member must contain the DBIMF_VARIABLEHEIGHT flag; otherwise, ptIntegral is ignored.

ptActual

Type: POINTL

A POINTL structure that receives the ideal size of the band object. The ideal width is given in the POINTL structure's x member and the ideal height is given in the y member. The band container attempts to use these values, but the band is not guaranteed to be this size.

wszTitle[256]

Type: WCHAR[256]

A WCHAR buffer that receives the title of the band.

dwModeFlags

Type: DWORD

A value that receives a set of flags that specify the mode of operation for the band object. One or more of the following values:

DBIMF_NORMAL

The band uses default properties. The other mode flags modify this flag.

DBIMF_FIXED

Windows XP and later: The band object is of a fixed sized and position. With this flag, a sizing grip is not displayed on the band object.

DBIMF_FIXEDBMP

Windows XP and later: The band object uses a fixed bitmap (.bmp) file as its background. Note that backgrounds are not supported in all cases, so the bitmap may not be seen even when this flag is set.

DBIMF_VARIABLEHEIGHT

The height of the band object can be changed. The ptIntegral member defines the step value by which the band object can be resized.

DBIMF_UNDELETEABLE

Windows XP and later: The band object cannot be removed from the band container.

DBIMF_DEBOSSED

The band object is displayed with a sunken appearance.

DBIMF_BKCOLOR

The band is displayed with the background color specified in crBkgnd.

DBIMF_USECHEVRON

Windows XP and later: If the full band object cannot be displayed (that is, the band object is smaller than ptActual, a chevron is shown to indicate that there are more options available. These options are displayed when the chevron is clicked.

DBIMF_BREAK

Windows XP and later: The band object is displayed in a new row in the band container.

DBIMF_ADDTOFRONT

Windows XP and later: The band object is the first object in the band container.

DBIMF_TOPALIGN

Windows XP and later: The band object is displayed in the top row of the band container.

DBIMF_NOGRIPPER

Windows Vista and later: No sizing grip is ever displayed to allow the user to move or resize the band object.

DBIMF_ALWAYSGRIPPER

Windows Vista and later: A sizing grip that allows the user to move or resize the band object is always shown, even if that band object is the only one in the container.

DBIMF_NOMARGINS

Windows Vista and later: The band object should not display margins.

crBkgnd

Type: COLORREF

A COLORREF structure that receives the background color of the band. The dwModeFlags member must contain the DBIMF_BKCOLOR flag; otherwise, crBkgnd is ignored.
