CreateDiscardableBitmap

The CreateDiscardableBitmap function creates a discardable bitmap that is compatible with the specified device. The bitmap has the same bits-per-pixel format and the same color palette as the device. An application can select this bitmap as the current bitmap for a memory device that is compatible with the specified device.

The CreateDiscardableBitmap function is included only for compatibility with earlier versions of Windows. For Win32-based applications, use the CreateCompatibleBitmap function.

HBITMAP CreateDiscardableBitmap(

HDC hdc,
// handle to device context
int nWidth,
// bitmap width
int nHeight
// bitmap height
);

Parameters

hdc

Identifies a device context.

nWidth

Specifies the width, in bits, of the bitmap.

nHeight

Specifies the height, in bits, of the bitmap.

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

When you no longer need the bitmap, call the DeleteObject function to delete it.
