DIBDATA Structure

Maintains information about each GDI DIB.

Syntax

typedef struct tagDIBDATA {
    LONG        PaletteVersion;  
    DIBSECTION  DibSection;     
    HBITMAP     hBitmap;        
    HANDLE      hMapping;      
    BYTE        *pBase;         
} DIBDATA;

Members

PaletteVersion
Current palette version in use.
DibSection
Details of DIB section allocated.
hBitmap
Handle to bitmap for drawing.
hMapping
Handle to shared memory block.
pBase
Pointer to base memory address.

Remarks

When the allocator creates a sample, it allocates a DIBSECTION to the sample. When a window receives a sample, it can call the Microsoft Win32® BitBlt function to pass the sample from one device context to another device context. This is a mechanism for the image allocator, an image sample, and the draw class to pass bitmap information to each other.
