I know I posted this on the API site but only 2 people looked at it so I'm putting it here


OK, I know this is a bit of a dumb question but it's probably quicker for you lot to tell me than to find out for myself by experiment.

If I use GetObject with a BITMAP type lpObject and a bitmap hObject then will the bmBits part of lpobject be a pointer to the bits of the bitmap.

I've been using get/set bitmap bits but apparrently it's only for backwards compatibility.

Am I barking Up the right tree?
