[perl-win32-gui-users] Hopefully an easy question about bitmaps...

[Scott S. <sco...@pi...>]

I am using some scanning software that can provide me with a handle to a =
DIB (Device Indep. Bitmap according to the documentation).  What I'd =
like to do is display this directly on the screen in a label, or another =
suitable element.  I'm not very clear on exactly what a handle is =
(except that it's different from a pointer, again according to their =
documentation) and how to interface this with Win32::GUI.

What I'm doing right now is writing the page out to a BMP file on disk, =
then opening it in a Win32::GUI::Bitmap, which is then assigned to a =
label, but it seems to me there should be an easier way to do this.  =
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,
