Bitmap masking

[Mat]

First I get the icon from a window (the GUI in this test) then I add it to a menu.

#include<WinApi.au3>
#include<SendMessage.au3>
#include<WindowsConstants.au3>
#include<GUIMenu.au3>

; WinUser.h constant for GetClassLong
Global Const $GCL_HICONSM = -34

$hGUI = GUICreate("test window")

GUISetState()

$hIcon = _GetClassLong($hGUI, $GCL_HICONSM)
$avIconInfo = _WinAPI_GetIconInfo($hIcon)
$hMask = $avIconInfo[4]
$hBmp = $avIconInfo[5]

$hMenu = _GUICtrlMenu_CreatePopup()
$i = _GUICtrlMenu_AddMenuItem($hMenu, "test item")
_GUICtrlMenu_SetItemBmp($hMenu, $i, $hBmp)

DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "SetForegroundWindow", "hwnd", $hGUI)
_GUICtrlMenu_TrackPopupMenu($hMenu, $hGUI, -1, -1, 1, 1, 2, 1)

_WinAPI_DeleteObject($hBmp)
_WinAPI_DeleteObject($hMask)
_GUICtrlMenu_DestroyMenu($hMenu)

Func _GetClassLong($hWnd, $i)
    Local $aRet = DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "GetClassLong", "hwnd", $hWnd, "int", $i)
    If (@error) Or (Not $aRet[0]) Then Return SetError(1, 0, 0)

    Return $aRet[0]
EndFunc   ;==>_WinAPI_GetClassLong

When I use the bitmap on its own it has a black background (no surprises there), but looking at msdn it seems there is not a simple way to combine bitmap and mask. I want to be able to use the bitmap (and mask) ideally without having to draw it myself. The only examples are all drawing it to a device cap.

Any ideas? Thanks

I don't know what you mean but maybe _WinAPI_BitBlt() is something for you (check out $iROP parameters)!
