CreateCompatibleBitmap

Took me a while to see the difference in your code. One letter made all the difference. It now works like a charm.

Thanks a lot.

bhdc = CreateCompatibleDC(hdc)
bitmaphand= CreateCompatibleBitmap ( hdc,100,100 )
---
SelectObject bhdc, bitmaphand

dim kk as bitmap
msgbox(str$(getobject(bitmaphand,sizeof(kk),kk)))
msgbox(str$(kk.bmBitsPixel))


This shows the bmBitsPixel is 1.

Yes. I'm using %srccopy.

Are you using %SRCCOPY in you BitBlt call?

bhdc = CreateCompatibleDC(hdc)
bitmaphand= CreateCompatibleBitmap ( bhdc,100,100 )
SelectObject bhdc, bitmaphand


I am using the above statements to generate a bitmap. I can bitblt data between my window and the bitmap, draw on the bitmap but for some reason I cannot use color. The bitmap seems to be monochrome.

Any ideas how I can use color.
