GetDIBits
The GetDIBits function retrieves the bits of the specified bitmap and copies them into a
buffer using the specified format.
int GetDIBits(
HDC hdc,
| // handle of device context
| HBITMAP hbmp,
| // handle of bitmap
| UINT uStartScan,
| // first scan line to set in destination bitmap
| UINT cScanLines,
| // number of scan lines to copy
| LPVOID lpvBits,
| // address of array for bitmap bits
| LPBITMAPINFO lpbi,
| // address of structure with bitmap data
| UINT uUsage
| // RGB or palette index
| );
|
|
Parameters
hdc
Identifies the device context.
hbmp
Identifies the bitmap.
uStartScan
Specifies the first scan line to retrieve.
cScanLines
Specifies the number of scan lines to retrieve.
lpvBits
Points to a buffer to receive the bitmap data. If this parameter is NULL, the
function passes the dimensions and format of the bitmap to the BITMAPINFO structure pointed to by the lpbi parameter.
lpbi
Points to a BITMAPINFO structure that specifies the desired format for the device-independent bitmap
(DIB) data.
uUsage
Specifies the format of the bmiColors member of the BITMAPINFO structure. It must be one of the following values:
Value
| Meaning
| DIB_PAL_COLORS
| The color table should consist of an array of 16-bit indices into the current
logical palette.
| DIB_RGB_COLORS
| The color table should consist of literal red, green, blue (RGB) values.
|
Return Values
If the lpvBits parameter is non-NULL and the function succeeds, the return value is the
number of scan lines copied from the bitmap.
Windows 95:
If the lpvBits parameter is NULL and GetDIBits successfully fills the BITMAPINFO structure, the return value is the total number of scan lines in the bitmap.
Windows NT:
If the lpvBits parameter is NULL and GetDIBits successfully fills the BITMAPINFO structure, the return value is non-zero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero.
Remarks
If the requested format for the DIB matches its internal format, the RGB
values for the bitmap are copied. If the requested format doesn't match the internal
format, a color table is synthesized. The following table describes the color
table synthesized for each format.
Value
| Meaning
| - BPP
| The color table consists of a black and a white entry.
| 4_BPP
| The color table consists of a mix of colors identical to the standard VGA
palette.
| 8_BPP
| The color table consists of a general mix of 256 colors defined by GDI.
(Included in these 256 colors are the 20 colors found in the default logical palette.)
| 24_BPP
| No color table is returned.
|
If the lpvBits parameter is a valid pointer, the first six members of the BITMAPINFOHEADER structure must be initialized to specify the size and format of the DIB. Note
that a bottom-up DIB is specified by setting the height to a positive number,
while a top-down DIB is specified by setting the height to a negative number.
The bitmap's color table will be appended to the BITMAPINFO structure.
If lpvBits is NULL, GetDIBits examines the first member of the first structure pointed to by lpbi. This member must specify the size, in bytes, of a BITMAPCOREHEADER or a BITMAPINFOHEADER structure. The function uses the specified size to determine how the
remaining members should be initialized.
If lpvBits is NULL and the bit count member of BITMAPINFO is initialized to zero, GetDIBits fills in BITMAPINFOHEADER or BITMAPCOREHEADER without the color table. This technique can be used to query bitmap
attributes.
The bitmap identified by the hbmp parameter must not be selected into a device context when the application
calls this function.
The origin for a bottom-up DIB is the lower-left corner of the bitmap; the
origin for a top-down DIB is the upper-left corner.

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 » |
