BUG: CreatePatternBrush() with Large Bitmap GP Fault

 Last reviewed: January 5, 1995
Article ID: Q92531
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows version 3.1

SYMPTOMS

On a machine with an 8514/a video adapter running the Microsoft Windows graphical environment with the standard 8514/a video driver, when an application calls the CreatePatternBrush() function to create a brush based on a bitmap larger than 8 pixels by 8 pixels, Windows terminates the application with an application execution error.

CAUSE

Contrary to the documentation for the CreatePatternBrush() function on page 114 of the Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) "Programmer's Reference, Volume 2: Functions" manual, this function does not trim a bitmap larger than 8 pixels by 8 pixels to this size.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with Microsoft Windows version 3.1. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
