Take a look on the function GetICMProfile() from WIN32 API.
You have to give a suitable DC for the display. Remember some
machines may have more than one monitor, so you have to specify
a DC for the display you want to get the profile.
Here is a snippet in C:
LPSTR GetDefaultICMProfile(HDC hDC)
{
BOOL bProfile;
DWORD dwProfileLen;
char szProfileName[MAX_PATH+1];
dwProfileLen = MAX_PATH; szProfileName[0] = '\0';
SetICMMode(hDC, ICM_ON);
bProfile = GetICMProfile(hDC, (LPDWORD) &dwProfileLen, szProfileName);
if (!bProfile)
{
DebugMsg("GetDefaultICMProfile: GetICMProfile returned FALSE on query,
dwProfileLen = %ld\r\n", dwProfileLen);
DISPLAY_LASTERROR(GetLastError());
return NULL;
}
DebugMsg("Full profile name: <%s>\r\n", szProfileName);
return strdup(szProfileName);
}
Hope this helps
