Re: [Dev-C++] Dsiplaying images

[Gregor P. <Gre...@dl...>]

Hmmm, the  LoadImage( ... )  is a part of the Programmers Reference but returns
(just) a  HANDLE .

What I need is a  pointer to a  BITMAPFILEHEADER  to get some informations
 SetDIBBitsToDevice( ... )  needs to be able to display the loaded Image.

I can't find any informations about HANDLEs in the Windows API reference.
Is it possible to feed the BITMAPFILEHEADER structure via this HANDLE?
