GetCTSeed

Returns a unique seed value for a color table created by your application.

pascal long GetCTSeed (void);

DISCUSSION

The GetCTSeed function returns a unique seed value that you can use in the ctSeed field of a color table created by your application. The seed value guarantees that the color table is recognized as distinct from the destination, and that color table translation is performed properly. The return value is greater than the value stored in the constant minSeed.
