# PICTYPE

The PICTYPE enumeration values are used to describe the type of a picture object as returned by IPicture::get_Type, as well as to describe the type of picture in the picType field of the PICTDESC structure that is passed to OleCreatePictureIndirect.

    typedef enum tagPICTYPE
    {
        PICTYPE_UNINITIALIZED    = -1,
        PICTYPE_NONE             = 0,
        PICTYPE_BITMAP           = 1,
        PICTYPE_METAFILE         = 2,
        PICTYPE_ICON             = 3
        PICTYPE_ENHMETAFILE      = 4
    } PICTYPE;

Elements

PICTYPE_UNINITIALIZED
  The picture object is currently uninitialized. This value is only valid as a return value from IPicture::get_Type and is not valid with the PICTDESC structure.
PICTYPE_NONE
  A new picture object is to be created without an initialized state. This value is valid only in the PICTDESC structure.
PICTYPE_BITMAP
  The picture type is a bitmap. When this value occurs in the PICTDESC structure, it means that the bmp field of that structure contains the relevant initialization parameters.
PICTYPE_METAFILE
  The picture type is a metafile. When this value occurs in the PICTDESC structure, it means that the wmf field of that structure contains the relevant initialization parameters.
PICTYPE_ICON
  The picture type is an icon. When this value occurs in the PICTDESC structure, it means that the icon field of that structure contains the relevant initialization parameters.
PICTYPE_ENHMETAFILE
  The picture type is a Win32-enhanced metafile. When this value occurs in the PICTDESC structure, it means that the emf field of that structure contains the relevant initialization parameters.
