GetBitmapBits

  LONG GetBitmapBits(hbmp, cbBuffer, lpvBits)    
  HBITMAP hbmp; /* handle of bitmap */
  LONG cbBuffer; /* number of bytes to copy to buffer */
  LPVOID lpvBits; /* address of buffer for bitmap bits */

The GetBitmapBits function copies the bits of the specified bitmap into a buffer.

This function is included only for compatibility purposes. New Win32 applications should use the GetDIBits function.

Parameters

hbmp

Identifies the bitmap.

Specifies the number of bytes to be copied.

lpvBits

Points to the buffer that receives the bitmap. The bitmap is an array of bytes.
