ID: Q82903

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) 3.1

SUMMARY

Windows 3.1 provides the DisplayDib function to display a 256-color bitmap image on a standard (16 color) VGA display. DisplayDib reduces the display resolution to 320x200 or 320x240 and centers the bitmap on the screen, clipping the image as necessary.

DisplayDib was first provided by the Multimedia Extensions to Windows version 1.0. It has been tested with, and is supported by, Window 3.1.

DISPDIB is a file in the Microsoft Software Library that contains a dynamic-link library (DLL) with the executable code for the DisplayDib function. DISPDIB also includes a header file and an import library file.
