OpenFromBitmap Method

Description

Create image from Windows Bitmap

Syntax

Visual Basic
Public Sub OpenFromBitmap( _ ByVal hBitmap As Long _ )

Parameters

hBitmap

Remarks

hBitmap points either to a Windows Device Dependent Bitmap (DDB) or Device Independent Bitmap (DIB).

DDB should start with BITMAP structure.
DIB should start with BITMAPINFOHEADER structure.

This method does not free hBitmap memory. Use GlobalFree for DIB and DeleteObject for DDB to free memory when no longer needed.

This method generates an error if object.Image.IsZone is true.
