protected function TSharedRasterImage.ReleaseHandle: THandle; virtual;

Description

ReleaseHandle is a THandle function used to release a reference for the handle in the class instance. The return value contains the value for the handle on entry.

ReleaseHandle sets the handle value to 0 to indicate that it is no longer used or invalid. It does not call DeleteObject to remove the handle in widgetset classes.

ReleaseHandle is called from classes which support a specific image format, like TCustomBitmap and TIcon, when their ReleaseHandle method is called to free the handle for its shared image.
