GXLoadStyle

You can use the GXLoadStyle function to load a style into memory.

void GXLoadStyle(gxStyle target);

target

A reference to the style object to be loaded into memory.

DESCRIPTION

The GXLoadStyle function moves a style object from disk storage to the active graphics client heap of your application. When you or QuickDraw GX unload a style object from memory to disk storage using the GXUnloadStyle function, QuickDraw GX creates a 4-byte stub that remains in the graphics client heap. When you use the GXLoadStyle function to retrieve the stored style, QuickDraw GX obtains the location of the stored style object from the stub.
