Function Reference


_WinAPI_CreateANDBitmap

Creates AND bitmask device-independent bitmap (DIB) from the specified bitmap

#include <WinAPIGdi.au3>
_WinAPI_CreateANDBitmap ( $hBitmap )

Parameters

$hBitmap Handle to the bitmap from which to create AND bitmask DIB.

Return Value

Success: Handle to the DIB.
Failure: 0 and sets the @error flag to non-zero.

Remarks

The _WinAPI_CreateANDBitmap() creates a 1 bits-per-pixel AND bitmask DIB from the 32 bits-per-pixel DIB or DDB.
If the source bitmap is non 32 bits-per-pixel bitmap, or is a compressed bitmap, the function fails.

You can use the bitmap returned by this function to create icon by using the _WinAPI_CreateIconIndirect().

When you are finished using the bitmap, destroy it using the _WinAPI_DeleteObject() function.
