Write HBITMAP Object in to BMP File

 

 

  The following Visual C++ code segment can be used to save a HBITMAP object in to BMP file format.

void WriteBMPFile(HBITMAP bitmap, LPTSTR filename, HDC hDC)

DWORD dwTotal; // total count of bytes
DWORD cb; // incremental count of bytes
BYTE *hp; // byte pointer
DWORD dwTmp;

// create the bitmapinfo header information

AfxMessageBox("Could not retrieve bitmap info");
return;
}
