ImageLockMode enumeration

Specifies the access flags that are passed to Bitmap.LockBits.

The members combine with Or. They form the flags argument of LockBits, which locks a part of a bitmap so that its pixel data can be read or written. The argument is declared as a UINT, so the members are passed as their values.

Member	Value	Description
ImageLockModeRead	&H0001	The part of the image is locked for reading.
ImageLockModeWrite	&H0002	The part of the image is locked for writing.
ImageLockModeUserInputBuf	&H0004	The buffer for the pixel data is allocated by the caller. When the flag is set, the flags argument is an input parameter and possibly an output parameter. When it is not set, flags is only an output parameter.
