Using a DC instead of Picture1.Picture

[Electroman]

I've used the code below to fill "bmp" with the details about the picture in "Picture1".

Private Type BITMAP
    bmType As Long
    bmWidth As Long
    bmHeight As Long
    bmWidthBytes As Long
    bmPlanes As Integer
    bmBitsPixel As Integer
    bmBits As Long
End Type
Private bmp As BITMAP
 
GetObjectA Picture1.Picture, Len(bmp), bmp

The problem is i'm no longer wanting to use a PicBox and have stored a picture in a DC I created instead. Does anyone know if there is a way to get these details from just the DC, The only part of "bmp" that I really need is "bmp.bmBits".

Thanx to anyone that can help.
