BitBlt anyone? :)

[Arcom]

Here's maybe an unusual question...

Is there any way of using BitBlt with an StdPicture object? Like converting the picture handle to a DC and then performing the BitBlt?

If anyone knows something about this, please reply.

Converting is the wrong word, an Stdpicture is a bitmap which you need to attach to a DC, this is easiest done by using a picturebox, but can also be done by creating an offscreen DC using createcompatibleDC and attaching it to the bitmap with selectobject. OffscreenDC's consume resources too, so you have to remove it later on using ReleaseDC.

Thanks a lot kedaman!

I'll stick to the API, 'coz it's waaay faster than adding a picture to a picturebox :)

Btw: Cool AV Kedaman :) Is she from SD3?

[kedaman]

It's not slow, but it consumes your resources. Be careful playing with the api's ;)

[kedaman]

oh thanks fox'! Sas idea to change it :)

[Sastraxi]

You can get one like it by typing in 'chrono trigger dance party' at www.yahoo.com

[kedaman]

[Sastraxi]

Get it from the top 100 or anything; i dont want to send it over to u in case i get sued. search altavista for "chrono trigger rom"

[Sastraxi]

Sorry, i cant send it over

[DarkJedi9]

Try Plasticman.org, it has a ton of good roms.

Makes sure you do .org, .com is a plastic manufacturing company.

And I'm gonna check out that dance party thing.

Sorry to Sastraxi for grabbing the same character as him (her maybe? wouldn't want to offend anyone) but I gotta go with a dark character of some sort, what with my username being DarkJedi9. It just wouldn't do to have a nice friendly avatar.

[Sastraxi]

Thats allright, I just changed mine to Dalton (that bloke that repairs the Epoch).

He's evil, he's cool.... and he's a scardey cat!

[DarkJedi9]

He's pretty cool looking. Nice choice.
