Leonardo: The DIBInfo function

This function copies a DIB's BITMAPINFOHEADER structure into a new BITMAPINFOHEADER structure for use by the application.

BOOL API DIBInfo (
HDIB	hbi,
LPBITMAPINFOHEADER	lpbi,
UINT	uSizeBI)

hbi HDIB Handle of DIB containing the source BITMAPINFOHEADER.

lpbi LPBITMAPINFOHEADER Pointer to a new BITMAPINFOHEADER structure generated by the application.

uSizeBI UINT Size, in bytes, of the structure pointed to by lpbi.

Returns

Function returns TRUE if the operation was successful.

Remarks

The BITMAPV4HEADER structure introduced with Windows 95 reserves more bytes than the BITMAPINFOHEADER structure. DIBInfo only fills in at the most the number of bytes specified by uSizeBI. An application can use the biSize element of the source DIB to determine whether it is based on a BITMAPV4HEADER or a BITMAPINFOHEADER.
