CreateDIBitmap
The CreateDIBitmap function creates a device-dependent bitmap (DDB) from a device-independent
bitmap (DIB) and, optionally, sets the bitmap bits.
HBITMAP CreateDIBitmap(
HDC hdc,
| // handle to device context
| CONST BITMAPINFOHEADER *lpbmih,
| // pointer to bitmap size and format data
| DWORD fdwInit,
| // initialization flag
| CONST VOID *lpbInit,
| // pointer to initialization data
| CONST BITMAPINFO *lpbmi,
| // pointer to bitmap color-format data
| UINT fuUsage
| // color-data usage
| );
|
|
Parameters
hdc
Identifies a device context.
lpbmih
Points to a BITMAPINFOHEADER structure.
If fdwInit is CBM_INIT, the function uses the BITMAPINFOHEADER structure to obtain the desired width and height of the bitmap as well as
other information. Note that a positive value for the height indicates a bottom-up
DIB while a negative value for the height indicates a top-down DIB. This
scenario is compatible with the CreateDIBitmap function.
fdwInit
A set of bit flags that specify how the operating system initializes the
bitmap's bits.
The following bit flag constant is defined:
Value
| Meaning
| CBM_INIT
| If this flag is set, the operating system uses the data pointed to by the lpbInit and lpbmi parameters to initialize the bitmap's bits.
If this flag is clear, the data pointed to by those parameters is not used.
|
If fdwInit is zero, the operating system does not initialize the bitmap's bits.
lpbInit
Points to an array of bytes containing the initial bitmap data. The format of
the data depends on the biBitCount member of the BITMAPINFO structure to which the lpbmi parameter points.
lpbmi
Points to a BITMAPINFO structure that describes the dimensions and color format of the array pointed
to by the lpbInit parameter.
fuUsage
Specifies whether the bmiColors member of the BITMAPINFO structure was initialized and, if so, whether bmiColors contains explicit red, green, blue (RGB) values or palette indices. The fuUsage parameter must be one of the following values:
Value
| Meaning
| DIB_PAL_COLORS
| A color table is provided and consists of an array of 16-bit indices into the
logical palette of the device context into which the bitmap is to be selected.
|
DIB_RGB_COLORS
| A color table is provided and contains literal RGB values.
|
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is a handle to the bitmap.
If the function fails, the return value is NULL.
Remarks
The CBM_CREATDIB flag for the fdwInit parameter is no longer supported.
When you no longer need the bitmap, call the DeleteObject function to delete it.

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
